This is where you come in. The New Westminster Citizens' Crime Watch Patrol consists of a number of concerned citizens who volunteer their time, vehicles, efforts and expertise to become extra sets of eyes and ears for the Police Service. The Patrol Team's supervisors, selected from within the group, set up the routine operations for each Watch, working at all times directly under the auspices and supervision of the New Westminster Police Service. Volunteers in the Patrol are observers and reporters only. They are not expected or permitted to get directly involved if any offense is seen being committed.
Theur function is to observer and report by radio any suspicious occurrence.
It is the responsibility of the police to deal with offenders. On occasion, trained Crime Watch personnel may be asked by the police to assist with traffic control at motor vehicle accident scenes. At those times, as always, personal safety is of paramount importance. As directed by the Police Service, CCWP volunteers patrol city streets, parks, and other public areas in their privately owned automobiles. A commitment of six hours monthly will help the Police Service help you.
