Care about safety on the trail? Got a bike? You can volunteer by taking this training program.

If you’re a cyclist who is passionate about riding Northaven Trail, here’s your chance to be on the cutting edge of change. The Dallas Police Department is starting a new training program. If it’s successful, DPD will roll out the program to other trails and parks. You can become a Volunteer in Patrol (VIP). Join Friends of Northaven Trail, DPD community liaison Officer Mark Lutz, and Friends of Bachman Lake at the Preston Royal Branch Library on Saturday, February 22, 10 a.m.-noon for a two-hour training session. Send an email to sign up. For more information, go to this Facebook event page.
