The Norco Citizens Patrol was formed in 1995 to assist the City of Norco's contract police force, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. Since the beginning of our organization, crime has been reduced by over twenty percent each year. During the year 2001 our volunteers donated 8,027 hours last year which save the city over $400,000 per year in police services cost which could fund four full time Deputies and patrolled over 24,601miles within the city which equals driving about 300 times on every inch of every street in the city. They responded to over 304 calls for assistance from citizens, 84 Deputy calls for service and have been responsible for the arrest of two Assault with a Deadly Weapon suspects and one Auto Theft. We currently have over 52 trained Citizen Patrol members actively patrolling our streets in four marked patrol vehicles. Our volunteer members donate their time to make our city safer and improve the quality of life in Norco. Our member receive initial training from the City of Norco Sheriffs department in a variety of law enforcement areas that will help them with their patrol duties. In addition to our patrol functions, the NCP also assists law enforcement with other functions such as special events and call-outs to provide traffic control for accidents or other law enforcement activities such as crime scene protection. Upon request by the Sheriffs Department, our volunteers also offer the ability to lift fingerprints from crime scenes to be processed by the Sheriff's crime lab. Other services offered by our organization include checking in on Seniors and/or Disabled individuals who live alone. We also offer vacation checks for citizens who would like to have their home looked on while they are out of town. To request any of these services please contact Officer Brenda Denny at 951-270-5693.
