Citizen on Patrol
The Citizen On Patrol is a Citizens Police Academy Alumnus with a desire to provide non-confrontational
support for Granbury Police patrol officers and the availability of more intensive training.
The C.O.P. program is designed to reduce crime in the community with the obvious presence of an additional vehicle and with additional “eyes and ears” on the streets.
C.O.P. members are called to help direct traffic, act as wrecker standby, assist motorists, conduct close patrols, respond to accidents, attempt to locate, and perform other duties as directed by the PD or its officers.
