The coalition would be an instrumental group that would set community policing goals and would serve as a liaison between the police and community as to what the community would like to see. The coalition would work under the Police Chief. The coalition would operate out of the Chubbuck Police Sub -Station at Pineridge Mall, and would get the community involved in obtaining volunteers to run the of- fice 8 hrs. a day. The coalition would not only implement new programs, and projects, but would oversee the activities of existing projects. Classes for the community will be offered as well. One need that neighborhoods have ex- pressed, is "How do you recognize drug activ- ity in your neighborhood, and what do you do?" The coalition would select volunteers to work I at the Sub -Station. The Sub -Station will serve as an information source for the community. This paragraph may sound boring, but get in- volved!! We can make it a lot of fun.
