Neighbors on Watch classes to begin Vancouver residents interested in making their neighborhoods safer are encouraged to apply for the Vancouver Police Department's new volunteer program called Neighbors On Watch. NOW volunteers patrol their neighborhoods on foot, bicycle, or personal vehicle. They are trained in observation skills, police radio communications, criminal law, crime detection and prevention, patrol procedures, first aid, CPR and AED, among other relevant topics. Pairs of trained citizen volunteers, equipped with police radios, patrol city streets and report their observations to another volunteer operating a "base" location with a radio. The base station location is in a private home of a NOW member. Information is relayed to proper authorities. However, volunteers are prohibited from taking any type of enforcement action or making contact with a possible violator Classes for volunteers will be held during October and include at least 24 hours of classroom training. All volunteer applicants must successfully pass a screening process which includes: criminal background investigation, fingerprints, interviews, and reference check.
