The Crowsnest Pass Citizens on Patrol was established in 1997 and currently has 40 volunteers working in conjunction with the local RCMP detachment.
Volunteers patrol the Crowsnest Pass area, acting as the eyes and ears for the RCMP. Patrol members have conducted drug awareness seminars at local schools, helped with bicycle safety workshops, provided security during major community functions, and helped with emergency evacuation efforts.
In 2000, they hosted the Alberta Citizens on Patrol annual conference. A Provincial board was formed to help all affiliates operate and follow common guidelines. The Crowsnest Pass Citizens on Patrol will host the annual Alberta Citizens on Patrol Association workshop in September 2010 in Bellevue.
