Each member is required to attend a thirteen week Citizens Police Academy training course and also attend an eight hour citizens on patrol course outlining the limitations and the responsibilities of the volunteers.
Sheriff David Byrnes stressed to each graduate how important their volunteer efforts are.

The National Association for Citizens on Patrol was founded in 1999 and each individual association is manned by volunteers. These volunteers patrol their community looking for suspicious activity, aid stranded motorists, and most importantly increase the level of comfort for those who see the extra units on the streets.
Sheriff Byrnes also presented the Travis Ranch Citizens on Patrol group with a retired Kaufman County Sheriff’s squad car to be used in the patrolling of neighborhoods in the Travis Ranch addition.
