Volunteers in Patrol Crime Watch
Got a car and a pair of eyes? We need you! Become a VIP (Volunteers in Patrol)!
VIP is a group of Lakewood Trail Volunteers who patrol in their cars and report anything suspicious to 9-1-1 and 3-1-1. This is a non confrontational group and does not carry weapons. Members choose the time and days they can volunteer. Members must first complete a background check and VIP training through the Dallas Police Department in order to participate. A VIP group is the number one thing a neighborhood can do to help control crime.
