The Fort Worth Code Blue Citizens on Patrol (COPS) program provides additional eyes and ears to the Fort Worth Police Department by training citizen volunteers to observe and report criminal activity. Trained COPS volunteers are assigned radios and given vehicle signs before patrolling their neighborhoods in their own vehicles, walking, or riding their bicycles. Additionally, COPS members participate in on-going training and activities such as assisting with training new police recruits at the police academy and working directly with police officers during special details.
