About COP

The Citizens on Patrol (COP) program is comprised of community volunteers who have a desire to assist the CPD with non-emergent routine patrols and tasks that free-up police officers for more expedited police response. In 2024, COPs contributed 5,048 volunteer hours to the department.

Throughout the year, COP members participate in a wide range of projects, including patrol work, assisting with traffic control,  attending community events, and maintaining public spaces. Currently, 20 dedicated volunteers are enrolled in the program.

While prior law enforcement experience is not required, all prospective COP members are required to complete the Citizens Police Academy and successfully pass a background check. Once sworn-in, COP members are required to complete comprehensive field training, attend monthly meetings, meet or exceed required service hours per quarter and attend other periodic training.

For further information about the COP program, contact Sgt. Rob Peete at (307) 633-6665 or rpeete@cheyennepd.org
