CALEDON CITIZENS ON PATROL PROGRAM (CCOP)

Mission Statement:
To enhance the individual and collective safety and general welfare of residents by assisting the OPP in deterring crime in the Town of Caledon.

Who are we and what do we do?
We are observant volunteers in a unique program.  Patrollers are carefully selected, screened and interviewed by a panel.  Trained individuals are paired and equipped with a police scanner and use a cell phone to maintain contact with the Communications Centre in Orillia.  Patrollers "Observe and Report" any act of crime or situation that may require the attention of the OPP.

Results: 
Since 2002 Citizens on Patrol volunteers have patrolled 7,517 hours, 107,302 kilometres and have made 1,743 reports to the OPP.
