Citizens on Patrol Program

The Winkler Police Service recognizes the value of partnerships between citizens and the police. The Citizens on Patrol Program (COPP) is perhaps the most profound example of a community and law enforcement partnership in modern times and a proactive approach to crime prevention. This relationship provides our police personnel with a valuable observation and reporting system, which is essential in helping fight crime.

The program consists of approved volunteers who contribute to the safety and security within the City of Winkler. Funding from both the Province of Manitoba and the City of Winkler has equipped the COPP with communication devices, flashlights, etc. and provides partial reimbursement for fuel costs.
