The Citizens On Patrol (COP) program is a group of active residents who have chosen to make a difference in their community through volunteering at the Police Department. The group has seventeen members and is growing. These citizens come from all walks of life and after attending a training regime, begin patrolling the City's neighborhoods as an extension of the Department. The COP ’ s work as extra eyes and ears for the Officers on the street and are active in assisting Code Enforcement in identifying issues in the City that need attention such as high weeds, illegally parked vehicles, and fence repair issues. The COP ’ s assist in high visibility patrols, football games and events, house checks, directed patrols, and traffic management. They run the Graffiti Abatement program and work toward making the City of DeSoto a clean community. The COP ’ s also assist with critical missing persons searches.
