Nanaimo Citizens On Patrol

 

About Us

 

 

 

 

What is Citizens on Patrol in the greater Nanaimo area?

 

The Nanaimo Citizens on Patrol is comprised of concerned citizens who volunteer their time,

energy, vehicles, and expertise to become the extended “eyes and ears” of their local police

detachment. I this day and age, the police simply cannot “do it all” for the communities they

serve; they must have the community support in making our streets and property safe for all

citizens. Nanaimo Citizens on Patrol has 50 members and an executive committee elected

from within the ranks to run the day to day routine operations of the group. In addition, other

members volunteer to tasked roles as a scheduler, advertising manager, and social events

convener. While the group operated this fashion, it works under the auspices and direction

of the RCMP.

 

Our team members observe and report any suspicious activities to the police. Our patrols consist

of 2 person vehicles who on a four hour shift cover many section for the District of Lantzville City

 

of Nanaimo, and Cedar, looking for illegal activities. Our memebrs do not get directly involved

if an offense is witnessed, nor do they exit their vehicles unless decided by a police officer. IF

they see something suspicious, they are in contact with e a base radio and it becomes a matter

for the police to deal with. Our good safety policy is to protect our members, enabling people of

all ages to participate in our patrols.
