The Security Patrol Needs You
!
The Greater Trilby Security Patrol (GTSP) is a volunteer organization supported by the Crime Prevention Department of the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office and needs more volunteers. You are eligible if you are 18 years of age or over and haven’t had any felony or serious misdemeanor convictions.
Selected volunteers go through a 4-hour training program and two 2-hour patrols with a certified Security Patrol member. Uniforms and insignia/markings for your car are furnished plus a gas allowance for each patrol. You determine when and the length of your patrol with the GTSP Patrol Coordinator.
GTSP has been operational for over 2 years and has been working to control crime in the Trilby area but we need to do more by scheduling daytime patrols and additional night patrols.
We are fully supported by the Sheriff’s Department and actually operate under its auspices. If we call in suspicious activity, a Sheriff’s Deputy is usually there in a very few minutes!
Come join us and enjoy the experience! Call me at 583-5936 or GTCA at 583-4150 during office hours 10 am to 1 pm Tuesday thru Saturday for more information.
Herb Green, Pres. GTCA
