hotels, and residential neighborhoods. Patrol duties include observing and reporting any
unusual or suspicious activities to RCMP or County Enforcement officers. These special
volunteers provide a deterrent to crime and a feeling of security for citizens and visitors
by remaining highly visible in the community. Citizens on Patrol do not carry weapons or
have powers of arrest.
