The ESP is a voluntary program funded by participating residents of Casa Linda Estates. Patrol officers are hired as private security, paid an hourly rate which covers a uniformed officer and DPD patrol car, and scheduled in 4-hour shifts. Most weeks include two shifts per week, however some won’t. With more participation, we hope to provide two patrols per week, all year-round.
