Learning about the Citizens on Patrol program in Melfort
Residents and business owners in Melfort were on hand to learn more about another program geared toward curbing crime in the community.
The Melfort Trade Alliance Chamber of Commerce (MTACC) hosted a presentation by Doug Fehr of the Battlefords Citizens on Patrol (COP) program Monday night at the Melfort Legion.
The meeting comes shortly after the inaugural Neighbourhood Watch information meeting held in the city.
Fehr told the small but passionate crowd that the program allows for immediate reporting of urgent issues to RCMP and other protective services. Less urgent issues can be recorded for future follow-up by the authorities.
