What is P.N.P.

Jul 08, 2003

The Phoenix Neighborhood Patrol (PNP) is a program that was initiated by the Phoenix Police Department. It is designed to organize and coordinate the work of citizen volunteers, who desire to take a more active role in reducing crimes in their own neighborhoods.

This program builds on the Block Watch program by engaging citizen volunteers to participate in crime prevention by actively patrolling their neighborhoods. The training provided to these citizens by the police department emphasizes the use of non-confrontational methods to observe and report criminal or suspicious activities to police. Citizens do not have police authority, but in effect, act as additional eyes and ears for the Phoenix Police Department. The two-way communication that develops as a result of this program is the basis upon which a long-term partnership is established.

For all those who have asked about the meetings and training, here?’s your opportunity: Attend the May 9th meeting to register for the May 18th training session. Please call 602-534-0430 for the time and location of the meeting and for any further information. You?’ll be serving your community and be proud you did!?…☺
