Stettler Citizens on Patrol is looking for more volunteers to serve the community with this valuable service.
• Citizens on Patrol enables citizens and business owners to have safer streets within the community in which they live.
• Citizens on Patrol is a non-profit volunteer group that donates its time to assist the RCMP.
• Citizens on Patrol can play a big part in assisting the RCMP in reducing break-ins and vandalism in the town of Stettler.
OBJECTIVES:
The first and foremost goal of Citizens on Patrol is to assist the Stettler RCMP in reducing crime in the community. That is done strictly through observation and reporting.
While on patrol, if anything of a suspicious nature is observed, the volunteers are able to relay the information to the RCMP. They are provided with a cellular phone and a police radio to enable them to communicate with the RCMP patrol cars.
That support provides the responding officers with an information advantage that can be continually updated.
The second objective of the program is to foster a closer co-operation between the “ordinary citizen” and the police.
By assisting the police to reduce the level of crime in the community, both groups together are helping to improve the quality of life within the town of Stettler.
