Recently, my wife and I completed the process of joining the Fort Worth Police Citizens on Patrol (COP) program. The perspective we have gained during this process could easily fill its own newsletter, but instead, I will simply recommend taking the training course and becoming involved. Even if you are only slightly interested, I encourage you to take the training course. The day-long course is incredibly informative, both in what the COP program-specific information, but the overall workings of the FWPD as a whole.
Once the course is completed, a ride-along with one of the West Division patrol officers is next in the process. Again, the perspective gained on learning how the FWPD works, seeing what our officers do, and recognizing the importance of a program like COP is immeasurable, and significant.
While not nearly as interesting as the ride-along with the police, anyone interested in riding along on a COP patrol should feel free to contact me or Gary Hogan to see first-hand what the program is, what we do, and what a difference we really can make.
Sincerely, Jeffrey Galle
