Letters to the editor
COP group seeks input
THE EDITOR,
Out of the North Huron
Community Policing Committee
meetings it was discussed that
many of the small communities
have organized a Citizens on Patrol
for their communities. It has been
found to reduce crime and
vandalism in these communities.
Citizens on Patrol volunteer their
time and vehicle to patrol their
community’s streets. Usually
between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
volunteers travel in twos and only
observe, never leaving their
vehicle. Any unusual activity is
reported to the police by cell
phone.
All volunteers must fill out a
form for a police check. Volunteers
can choose to go out on patrol
whatever night and hours they
choose. This is one volunteer
commitment where the volunteer
dictates his or her own hours.
In Blyth we have a small but
dedicated group of volunteers who
have been patrolling our streets off
and on since February, 1999. The
volunteers have suggested that
input from the Blyth businesses
and/or residents would be
appreciated either through
businesspeople and/or residents
volunteering to patrol and/or letting
the Citizens on Patrol know the
areas of concern their individual
businesses or residents might have.
The more positive feedback the
volunteers have the more likely the
Citizens on Patrol will continue.
Please contact the Blyth
Municipal Office for more
information if you are interested.

On behalf of The Citizens on
Patrol Committee.
