Sorry in advance if this is a stupid question, but what is Citizen Patrol?
Today there was a cop car driving behind me. I thought it was a normal cop car until I got to the light and he got into the turn lane and drove past me. The car had all the standard cop car stuff, lights, bumpers, etc. but on the side it had a crest (I assume the cities crest) and on the back it said X Township Police then underneath it said Citizens Patrol.
I have never seen one of these cars ever before. Plus the guy in the car was not a normal citizen, but an armed uniformed cop. (I could see his gun on his hip from my truck window) Do other places have these? I have never in my life seen one of these cars before. What do they do?
