C.O.P. - Citizens On Patrol

Citizens on Patrol is a Non-Confrontational neighborhood patrol program. Volunteers donate their time to patrol their neighborhood while driving or walking around their neighborhood. They are trained by the Pflugerville Police Department on how to observe and report suspicious and/or criminal activity in their neighborhood.
