There will be extra eyes and ears watching over the Sherman Park neighborhood starting tonight.
The Citizens Patrol will start making rounds after a year of planning.
Volunteers met last night for orientation.
An MPD officer gave training on how to stay safe, how to spot suspicious activity *and* how to report it to police.
Residents said they are focused on protecting the community and each other.
The Sherman Park Citizens Patrol is a pilot program.
Patrols will happen three nights a week
Organizers hope to soon expand their efforts to other neighborhoods.
