BUSINESS CRIME WATCH:
Citizens On Patrol
(C.O.P. Program)

One of the department goals established by the Chief of Police is to utilize citizen volunteers within various areas of the department.

One program, we are establishing is Citizens On Patrol (C.O.P.). The Citizen On Patrol is an extension of the Neighborhood Crime Watch program. The program will provide an opportunity for citizens to take an active role in crime prevention in their neighborhood. C.O.P. members, prior to acceptance, will be screened and receive training that will include effective ways to patrol their neighborhood. The objective of the program is to provide more eyes and ears on the streets of Bartow, observing and reporting crime and/or suspicious activity. In addition to patrol activities they will assist with watch orders, special events, and other duties as directed by the Chief.

Lyn Bryan will be the Citizen On Patrol (C.O.P.) Coordinator and responsible for the overall administration of the program.

A specially marked vehicle will be provided and used by C.O.P. members.

C.O.P. members will primarily be scheduled during daytime hours and will report to the on-duty supervisor when arriving for duty.
This program has been used throughout the United States for many years and has proved to be beneficial to the department and their communities.

We are in the final stage of completing the necessary steps to begin the program. A start date will be determined and we will advise when an actual date is established.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know.
