Citizens
On Patrol, Inc. (COP) is a nonprofit, volunteer organization aimed
at reducing crime by remaining visible in the neighborhood. We are essentially
the eyes and ears of the Police department, reporting all suspicious
activity to the Police. The Grand Prairie Police Department supports
our program by providing a comprehensive training program, two-way radios
for communication, and crime statistics to enable us to direct our patrolling
activities where needed. We would enjoy having you as a member of Citizens
On Patrol.....just call 972-237-8820 to find out how you can
join in the fight against crime in your neighborhood.
How
Does Your Neighborhood Benefit From Citizens on Patrol ?
Our patrols
provide a visible presence in the neighborhood that helps to deter crime
from your area. The result is increased safety of your home and valuables,
increased code enforcement and increased awareness of criminal activity
within neighborhoods utilizing our program. COPs also maintain constant
communication with the Police Dept. and, with our special training,
are able to provide authorities with more detailed, accurate information
about specific suspicious / criminal activities, resulting in more frequent
arrests and tracking of suspicious persons.
