Hiding in plain sight is basically when someone is hiding, but not by standing in a closet or in a disguise, they're just acting "natural".

They look so normal that they don't stand out, so it's harder to tell them apart from other things.
Like if you were hiding from someone on a crowd of people. Since there's so many people, you don't have to do anything weird in order to be hard to find.
Another example is like if you were looking for a specific book in a library. The book you are looking for is hiding in plain sight, since they aren't hidden away in a secret spot. It's just hard to find a book in a place where there's so many of them.

they're probably related, he could be saying that the patrol of people are looking for someone hiding in plain sight, or the person told the patrol to hide in plain sight
