Security & Safety
Expanded Security Program (ESP)
Want to prevent crime, raise property values and create a more visible police presence in our neighborhood? Join us in establishing the CLENA Expanded Security Program!
With an annual donation of $450 per household, you’ll help provide patrols of uniformed off-duty officers in DPD vehicles at times they’re needed most.
That’s less than $10 a week!
Donate at the $1,000 Founders Level and you'll not only have the satisfaction of knowing you helped get this program off the ground, you'll also enjoy a Founders-Only event this spring and special recognition in CLENA communications.
And all participants can take advantage of the Home Watch Service where officers check on your residence while you’re away.
With a first round goal of $12,000, we can provide 16 patrol hours per month (one 4-hour shift per week). But with more participating households, we get more patrol hours.
If 95 households (20%) join, we get 60 patrol hours per month.
If 140 households (30%) join, we get 90 patrol hours per month.
If 190 households (40%) join, we get 114 patrol hours per month.
If 140 households (30%) join, we get 90 patrol hours per month.

So please, join us in the effort to launch this valuable program to ensure the security and safety of this place we call home. Submit your donation today.
CLENA Volunteers In Patrol (VIP)
The CLENA Volunteers In Patrol (VIP) aims to unite citizens and police for a common goal. That goal is to improve the quality of life for CLENA residents by preventing, reducing, and eliminating crime.
VIP is designed to provide a means for citizens to organize into patrol groups to be visible in their community. The value of police-citizen cooperation is well illustrated by the success of Citizen Patrol programs nationwide.
CLENA neighbors may notify VIP when you are out of town and the VIP will take special note of your house during its regular rounds.
VIP applicant requirements:
-
- Be at least 21 years old or 18-20 years old with Division Commander’s approval
- Successfully pass a background check
- Have a valid Texas Drivers License or Identification Card
