The Dauphin Citizens on Patrol are lighting up Dauphin.
They recently held their 'Light Up the Night' initiative. They gave away free solar-powered security lights to residents of Dauphin. The goal is to help brighten our streets and yards.
Richard Ives with Dauphin Citizens on Patrol says it was an overwhelming success.
"We had close to 150 lights," said Ives. "During our second night, we gave out one light every 40 seconds. We ran out rather quickly, which was great."
Dauphin Citizens on Patrol is actively recruiting volunteers. Richard handed out application forms and will now host a training session next week for those who expressed interest.

"If you want to be a part of the community and try to prevent crime and the activities we've been running, it's a great way to bring the community together," said Ives.
The time commitment you ask? Very flexible.
"We ask our volunteers to provide four hours per month, it's a very minimal time committment," ended Ives. "We're very flexible with schedules."
