To deter criminal activity in our city neighborhoods and to reduce the amount of criminal activity in our community.
To increase resident/student respect and cooperation.
To continue the Police Division’s commitment to improve the quality of life experienced in our city’s neighborhoods and to involve the community in decisions that directly affect them.

Residents and students will assist the Police Division by “patrolling” specific city neighborhoods on a volunteer basis. C.O.P. members will be equipped with a two-way radio to report suspicious activity to the Police. An officer will then be dispatched to investigate. C.O.P. members will not become directly involved with any suspicious subjects, but will be the “eyes & ears” of the Police Division.
