FPPD's Crime Watch Patrol Program is a group of community minded civilian volunteers sponsored by the Police Department that uses a simple approach to safeguarding neighborhoods through volunteer activities and patrols. Crime Watch volunteers are specialized and trained local community residents who help FPPD prevent crime by patrolling our community, looking out for suspicious activity or potential hazards and offering assistance to local residents. Typical assignments in addition to patrol activities include performing checks on unoccupied residences (at the owner's request), checking on elderly or homebound residents (as requested) and reporting potential problems and neighborhood hazards to on duty FPPD shift supervising officers. Crime Watch volunteers wear uniforms and drive specially marked retired and donated ex-police vehicles, adding to the crime-prevention presence in the community.
In the event of an emergency please call 911
