Citizens on Patrol Program will be making its way back to Thompson after a couple year hiatus.
The program kicked off last weekend and the volunteers will be doing shifts during the evening. At the moment, the group has eight volunteers. To volunteer, you will need to have a criminal record check, which is paid by the COPP.
COPP coordinator Wail Mohammad explains why he decided to resurrect the program after finding out the program left Thompson a few years ago.
He also says that the COPP are quite different than the Community Safety Officers, as the COPP are just volunteers.
To hear more about the COPP, tune in to Thompson Today at 12:40 or 5:10PM.
