RECOMMEDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that a Resolution authorizing funding, in the amount of W,000.00,
for the Citizens On Patrol Volunteer Program, be approved. Funding is to be provided from the
Law Enforcement Trust Fund, from Project Number 690003.
BACKGROUND:
The Police Department supports those groups involved in assisting in the crime fighting efforts of
the Department. The Citizens On Patrol Volunteer Program provides a coordinated effort for
citizens to take an active role in crime prevention efforts within the neighborhood in which they
live and work. Understanding that more police officers in the field will not be a reality, this
program will address fear of crime by multiplying the eyes and ears of the Police Department.
Funds will also be used to provide uniforms and equipment issued to the volunteers. Citizen
volunteers play an integral part in the crime prevention efforts of the Police Department.
