Citizens on Patrol (COP), is seeking new volunteers province-wide to help keep communities safe!
Do you know someone who might be a good fit in your community?
The Citizens on Patrol Program is a partnership between police and volunteers that helps ensure safe homes and safe communities.
COP volunteers are trained by the RCMP and are the eyes and ears of their communities. Volunteers contribute a minimum of four volunteer hours each month. COP members make observations and take notes of areas visited throughout their communities and should suspicious or unlawful activity be observed, RCMP dispatch is contacted and details of the suspicious or unlawful activity is reported for appropriate police response.
In order to become a COP volunteer, you must;
✅Be at least 19 years of age.
✅Possess a valid driver’s license and maintain a good driving record.
✅Complete an interview.
✅Pass the security screening required by the RCMP.
