BELLINGHAM, Wash. — It’s not exactly like the ’80’s comedy “Police Academy,” but the Bellingham Police Department is forming its own version of Citizens On Patrol.
Bellingham Neighbors Together is a volunteer program that helps the department have a more visible presence to reduce crime, educate residents and make neighborhoods safer.
Coordinator Scott Hendrickson says participants will be trained to be the eyes and ears of the department in neighborhoods and parks.
The 4th Bellingham Neighbors Together Academy starts in October.
