(Continued from page 1) citizens band radios and cell phones. “We worked to describe descriptions of people, license plate num- bers, and various circum- stances,” he said. Davis, with Harman, provided copies of the for- mer IVCP bylaws. They could be used “as is” or adapted for a new citizens patrol following further discussion. The group was told by the executive director of Grants Pass-based Con- cerned Fathers Against Crime (CFAC), that Cave Junction has been visited recently by members on patrol. On behalf of Blaylock Insurance he will donate $100 on a $50 match basis to help the valley group get under way. The executive director said that CFAC has “a strict no physical contact policy. Once a CFAC member on patrol opens his door in connection with any incident,” he said, “our insurance stops.” And any member who violates the rule is dropped from mem- bership, he said. He noted that during a recent Downtown CJ night patrol, two men were seen pulling flowers from a planter in front of a busi- ness. Although the CFAC patrollers did not exit their vehicle, they yelled at the men to stop what they were doing. They then fol- lowed them to their resi- dence in Kerby to let them know they were seen and that their actions will not be tolerated. He and Davis stressed that patrollers are not po- lice officers, but are to serve as eyes and ears only. * * * A mission statement was adopted by the execu- tive board of the fledgling IVCP during a meeting in the county building on Monday night, Sept. 15. Taken from the former IVCP bylaws, it reads: “Our purpose shall be to provide service to our community in whatever way possible within the limits of our ability, and to provide extra eyes and ears for the police, sheriff and the community, and to pro- vide such other services as may be requested (by those groups) with the goal of providing a safer and more secure community.” In addition, the some 13 persons attending the meeting listed committees and their topics, and com- mittee members volun- teered. Areas are insur- ance, training, fund- raising, vehicles and ra- dios, recruiting and sched- ules, bylaws, and advertis- ing. The gathering was at- tended by Sgt. Stephen V. Clarke, who indicated that the bylaws and mission statement, as well as insur- ance, are important. He said he would work with Harman and Sheriff Dave Daniel to assist the group within certain boundaries. Clarke stressed that the group could best help the sheriff’s office with high visibility, non- confrontational efforts. “Visibility is the big- gest deterrent,” Clarke said.
