The Neighborhood Patrol Program pools member resources to hire off-duty IMPD officers to patrol the streets and alleys of the King Park neighborhoods.

• Households, multi-family building/complexes, businesses, organizations, and places of worship within the King Park neighborhoods pool financial resources to hire veteran, off-duty IMPD officers to patrol our neighborhoods.
•  The officers will work for the neighborhood, although they retain full police powers and can respond as any on-duty officer. They will be supplementing, not replacing, IMPD service by pro-actively addressing problems we neighbors identify and b y responding to suspicious activity.
•  The more members that join the cooperative, the more patrol time is purchased. Patrol times will be random and may be adjusted to reflect seasonal trends and emerging problems.
•  Officers will work with the King Park Public Safety Committee, made up of crimewatch leaders from each neighborhood, to address specific problems, locations, and persons.

Benefits of Joining

• Off-duty IMPD officers, with full police powers, will randomly patrol around your home, organization, or business in marked and unmarked vehicles.

Neighborhoods don't just happen.  They take a lot of work.  Help us build our neighborhood by volunteering your time and skills to any of the following activities.  Without your help, many of them will not happen!

• Social Committee
  The Social Committee coordinates major neighborhood events like the neighborhood sale, cleanups, and the July 4th block party as well as smaller events like the book club and dinner club.  The Committee is seeking both members and a chairperson.
• Garden Team
  The Garden Team manages the adopt-a-spot program that matches up neighborhood maintenance needs with volunteers.  The team is seeking a Coordinator as well as adopt-a-spot volunteers.
• Progress Coordinator
  The Progress Coordinator keeps track of development opportunities and proposals and assists the board and neighborhood in developing responses to such proposals.  The coordinator also seeks to position the neighborhood as a viable and attractive place to live and do business. 

Please contact the Board or call Sarah at 317-253-1401 ext 237 if you are interested in any of these volunteer opportunities.
