Citizens on Patrol (COP)

As a COP member, you will be attached to one of the Neighbourhood Police Centres (NPCs) and be required to serve a minimum of 2 hours of patrol per month.

Your role includes patrolling the neighbourhood in groups, disseminating crime prevention advisories and reporting suspicious persons or crime in progress to the Police.

As you will conduct your patrols within the boundaries of the NPC where you volunteer, you will have the opportunity to serve a large community.

You will undergo 1.5 days of modular training.

To keep abreast of the current operational environment, you will receive training on Basic Crime Prevention to prepare you to carry out your duties independently. The training will take half a day and will include engagement techniques and crime prevention surveys.

You will also receive training in SGSecure and Community Emergency Preparedness.

As a Home Team volunteer, you will receive the necessary training, and will work in partnership with regular officers in the execution of their duties.
