With Sgt. Gustavo Flores taking the lead and reserve officer Rod Small assisting, the Escalon Police Department is getting ready to roll out a new, updated citizen volunteer program. The city did have an active citizen’s patrol several years ago but it dwindled down to the point of non-existence, as the department went through a series of interim police chiefs. Now, with Chief Mike Borges just marking his first year and having his contract renewed for another, the volunteer program is one of those items on his ‘to do’ list.
