This coordinated effort, via the Alumni, is offered
as one of many police sponsored operations. The primary purpose of a
Citizens On Patrol unit (C.O.P.S.) is to help reduce crime and/or illegal
drugs through cooperation with the Grandbury Police
Department. Participants become "extra eyes and ears" for the
Police Department in the local and surrounding communities. Well
trained, private citizens volunteer to observe and report suspicious or criminal activities to
the appropriate authorities. A police sergeant is assigned to the Alumni
group as liaison, allowing us to provide well-trained
volunteers, equipment and supplies while maintaining an in depth level of
education and experience for all who are willing to help make things
happen!
C.O.P.S. assists the police
department in crime-prevention by actively patrolling neighborhoods,
maintaining visibility, while observing and recording activities.
Participants are trained how to report
suspicious crime and other illegal activity to the police, and to whom.
The C.O.P.S. program increases the lines of
communication between citizens and our local Police Officers by: |
