Citizens on Patrol

Kyle Citizens on Patrol

The City of Kyle’s Citizens on Patrol (C.O.P.) program works to improve safety in Kyle while also relieving officers in times of need by using specially trained volunteers for certain tasks.  

Members of the C.O.P. program are alumni of the Citizens Police Academy (CPA) who underwent additional advanced C.O.P. training to learn how to direct traffic, patrol neighborhoods, and generally assist in serving the residents of Kyle. Program participants must also go through a selection process consisting of a thorough background check, an interview, and additional training. 

Residents interested in participating in Citizens on Patrol program must first complete the Citizens Police Academy which is designed for adult citizens who either reside in the City of Kyle or who own a business within the City. The academy is 10-weeks long, plus a graduation.  

Go to the Citizens' Police Academy webpage for more information on when the next courses will be and how to enroll.
