The Citizens on Patrol Program officially gets underway in Flin Flon today.  Their Marketing Coordinator Dave Etienne says 19 of their 24 patrol members will be out today to do the official kick off.  He says they’ll be patrolling the Main Street area at 4 pm and again at 7 just to make the public aware that they have officially started the patrol program. He says after that patrol a few teams of two will patrol by vehicle in the Flin Flon area during this evening.  He adds from then on you’ll see them patrolling at random times throughout the Flin Flon area acting as additional eyes and ears for the local RCMP detachment to hopefully deter some of the crime going on in our community.

For information on the program you can call Dave at 204-687-6646.
