NOW volunteers plan patrols Tuesday

Volunteers with Vancouver’s Neighbors on Watch program plan a “saturation patrol” through the city from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Forty volunteers, who act as extra eyes and ears for police officers, will split into 16 patrol teams and fan out across the city looking for problems such as vandalism or abandoned vehicles.

Patrol areas will be based on areas that need special attention, according to a news release. One patrol will work in a specially equipped truck, trying to find stolen autos.

The volunteers receive special training, wear special uniforms and drive vehicles with NOW signs, but they do not confront offenders. For more information on volunteering for the group, contact Kelly Cheney, 360-487-7467 or email kelly.cheney@cityofvancouver.us.
