On September 30, 2006, Alvin Police Department unveiled their newest tool to help keep Alvin safe. A group of specially trained citizens from the Alvin Citizen’s Police Academy Alumni Association made make their first patrol in the group’s new Citizen’s Patrol Unit. The specially equipped and marked patrol vehicle will allow the Patrol Unit to act as an extra set of eyes and ears for the citizens of Alvin. Each member of the Unit has completed the 32 hour Citizen’s Police Academy and an additional 60 hours of specialized training in patrol techniques, qualifying them to begin patrolling Alvin’s streets.

The Citizen’s Patrol Unit assists Alvin Police Department with crime prevention patrols, motorist assistance, wrecker stand-by, traffic control, close patrols and handicapped parking enforcement. Our mission is to act as a force multiplier for the city’s police officers. We assist them with non-enforcement activities so that they are available to answer more calls. We also act as a deterrent to crime by conducting highly visible patrols.

Applicants for the Citizen’s Patrol Unit must either have completed the Citizen’s Police Academy or be willing to complete the Academy during the next offering.

An application for the Citizen’s Patrol Unit can be filled out and brought to the PD to the attention of Sgt. Tim Hubbard. Anyone interested in the Citizen’s Police Academy or the Citizen’s Patrol program should contact either Ruben Solano for the Alvin Citizen’s Police Academy @ 281-585-7100 or Sgt. Tim Hubbard for the Alvin Citizen’s Patrol Unit @ 281-585-7106 or thubbard@apd.cityofalvin.com.
