Residents here plan to meet this week to organize citizen groups that will help local police agencies.
Residents plan to organize a "Citizens on Patrol" unit in connection with the Sanpete County Sheriff's Office. The meeting will be held Wednesday, Nov. 5, at the Manti High School auditorium at 6:30 p.m."It involves all of us," said Janice Cluff, who is leading the call for public support. "We need every one of our citizens."
Cluff said the meeting will attempt to accomplish four things: help establish a Community Oriented Policing program, organize a neighborhood watch program, organize an effective emergency communications plan and help get a community emergency team certified.
