Volunteers

Citizens On Patrol

Citizens On Patrol (C.O.P.) are resident volunteers who assist the Des Plaines Police Department by patrolling the streets of Des Plaines. The volunteers patrol by vehicle and bicycle and report suspicious activity to the 911 Communications Center. The volunteers take non-emergency radio calls allowing sworn officers to respond to calls of a more serious nature. All volunteers are graduates of the Des Plaines Police Department Citizens Police Academy, and are required to take and pass additional training.

For more information on the Citizens on Patrol contact Bruce Ahlmann 847-827-2623.
