Greetings! Thank you for visiting
The White Rock Lake Volunteers In Patrol Website

The White Rock Lake Volunteers In Patrol (VIP) is a non-confrontational program that helps the Dallas Police Department lower the crime rate at White Rock Lake. We serve as the eyes and ears for the Police Dept., giving them additional coverage of the park.

Unlike most neighborhood VIP programs, we do not require members to be present at any given time, just to come to the park as they normally do. But with a cell phone and a little training, you can help prevent crime, and/or insure that the criminals are apprehended.

Neighborhoods and communities that have an active VIP program tend to have a lower crime rate. That is our goal with this program.
What are the requirements to join the VIP? You must meet the following qualifications:

  • At least 21 years old

  • Complete a successful background check

  • Have had no moving violations in the last two years

  • No prior felony convictions

  • No A or B misdemeanors within the past five years

  • No DWI conviction in the last ten years

  • Complete the Dallas Police Department’s VIP training program

How does the VIP work? Volunteer patrollers are trained by the Dallas Police Dept. The seven-hour program is given on a Saturday, or on a Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evening during one week. Part of the training program consists of a tour of the 911 headquarters. VIP personnel are some of the only private citizens allowed such a tour.

If you do not have a cell phone, one will be provided that can only be used to dial 911.
