The Dallas Police Department is forming a citizen volunteer organization that will respond to natural disasters and other emergencies. These volunteers will assist the Police in manning traffic barricades and other non-enforcement tasks so that uniformed officers can be assigned to other duties. These groups will be formed through each patrol division. Senior Corporal Ron Carpenter will be the coordinator.
There will be a planning meeting on Thursday, July 14, 2005 at 7pm at the Northeast Patrol Divison, 9915 E. Northwest Highway. If you have questions, call Ron at 214.670.4415.
