Citizen
on Patrol
The Citizen On Patrol is a Citizens Police Academy Alumnus with a desire to provide non-confrontational
support to Granbury Police patrol officers and with the availability for more intensive training.
The C.O.P. program is designed to reduce crime in the community with the obvious presence of an additional vehicle and with additional “eyes and years” on the streets.
C.O.P. members are called to help with directing traffic, acting as wrecker stand-by, motorist assists, close patrols, accidents, attempts to locate, and other various duties as directed by the PD or its officers.
