Speed Watch
Speed Watch is a proactive program – we do NOT issue tickets.
Stolen Auto Recovery (SAR)
We download stolen-vehicle information from the Canadian Police Information Centre [CPIC] and use tablets to check for stolen licence plates and vehicles.
SAR is a proactive program – we do NOT issue tickets and CANNOT upload vehicle information.
Lock Out Auto Crime (LOAC)
LOAC is a proactive program – we do NOT issue tickets but DO leave notices on windshields.
Disability Parking
This is a proactive program – we do NOT issue tickets, but DO leave notices on windshields.
Community Activities
In the calendar year we normally assist with community events including the Coldest Night of the Year, Canada Day celebrations, direct people during major events, and support other local safety initiatives.
Monthly Meetings and Activities
We have numerous couples in the group. Some like to patrol together but many prefer to go out with other partners every once in a while. It is interesting to get to know other members as well.
Our monthly meetings include updates of important events, a short teaching moment, and an opportunity to share amusing Patrol anecdotes.
We believe that socializing is important for group morale and host one social event per year in addition to attending community events.
