Citizens on Patrol volunteers help keep community safe
Driving around the streets of the Battlefords late into the evening, the local Battlefords Citizens on Patrol volunteers quietly keep watch, doing their part to help the community stay safe from crime.
This reporter joined one team this past Friday night, traveling around parts of North Battleford and Battleford to see what it is like, as they say, to be an extra pair of eyes and ears to help the local RCMP.
I couldn’t see much activity, maybe the odd young man walking alone along the street, hoodie up, hands in pockets, but that’s about all.
A new member, Darryl, who prefers not to disclose his last name, recently started with the group.
