Citizens on Patrol
The city of Perris Citizens on Patrol group is comprised of highly trained volunteers who enhance vital crime prevention services and community awareness through proactive law enforcement principles. Our Perris Station Citizens on Patrol have dedicated more than 2,775 hrs of service to their community working with the Perris Police Department.
Citizen volunteers do not require the special law enforcement training of a Reserve Deputy Sheriff. Volunteers do not carry a weapon or make arrests. They do act as essential "eyes and ears" in service to the community while working with Sheriff's staff. Volunteers may work in a myriad of assignments including within their own neighborhood.
The Citizens Patrol volunteers attend training meetings once a month. They receive training in Orientation and Organization, Crime Prevention, Introduction to Law, Driver Awareness, Patrol Procedures and Traffic Control.
Qualifications to become a volunteer are as follows: an applicant must be 18 years of age or older, appear professional at all times, have good moral character, have no felony convictions, be a current US citizen, and be able to pass a background check.
If you are interested in joining Citizens on Patrol, feel free to contact Perris Community Service Officer at 210-1110.
