Volunteers in Patrol
Uniting Little Casa View residents with the Dallas Police Department
Volunteers in Patrol (VIP) is a program that allows residents to assist the Dallas Police Department by reporting suspicious or criminal activity. Following a special training that is provided by the police department, local residents patrol the neighborhood streets and alleyways in marked vehicles and with a partner in order to reduce crime. Many of these patrols happen during the day when residents are at work.
The mission of the Little Casa View Neighborhood VIP group is to promote a safer and more friendly environment throughout our neighborhood.”
