It was about a year ago, Aug 9, 2023 when Omaha Coalition of Citizen Patrols' Scotty Wagner noticed a huge pile of tires less than a block from South High. They were easy to find since there were nearby abandoned properties Scotty had been notifying city officials about. These properties had numerous break-ins, vandalism, etc.

As Scotty stated, things only got worse as larger piles were dumped and problems continued at these properties.

We were all concerned with the dumping in this area. The tires presented a hazard, holding water and having exposed rusty wires. The optics of this for young people going to school was also very concerning to everyone in our group. It took more than a month of Scotty's persistence and his getting the news story, that got the tires removed. Thank you Scotty!!!!

With the departure after 25 years of service of Bill Hanes from the Omaha Coalition of Citizen Patrol and a member of the Mandan Park Citizen Patrols' Spring Lake Patrol (see picture), Mandan Park Citizen Patrol is looking to expand its membership to qualified people to assume numerous duties.
Mandan Park Citizen Patrol includes the area south of I-80 to Harrison Street, the Missouri River to approximately 28th street. Members are needed to report on a variety of issues and your attendance at police meetings is required.
As a volunteer, you have the opportunity to join a group that is working to make a real difference in the lives of our community. We do all of this in an attempt to make our neighborhood community enjoyable for all.
Mandan Park Citizen Patrol was formed out of the need to incorporate members from the former Brown Park Neighborhood Association and the former Spring Lake Neighborhood Association under an existing neighborhood association. MPCP members represent over 65 years of combined service to the community. With the startup of Mandan Park Neighborhood Association and its involvement with Citizen Patrol for years prior, it seemed only right to group everyone together and get things started again.
New members that qualify and pass background checks and complete training are also required to attend police meetings and report conditions in the community. If you'd like to become part of a growing organization that works with civic leaders and Omaha Police Department ...contact us for information regarding the next training sessions.
