Welcome
to the Clifton Park Citizen Corps
The horrific events of September 11, 2001 shook every
community and resulted in an outpouring of humanity and
selflessness. To keep that spirit alive, I invite you to answer the
President’s “Call to service” and take an active role in making
Clifton Park a safer, stronger and better prepared community.
Citizen Corps,
a vital component of
USA
Freedom Corps, was created by President George W. Bush. It
provides education and training opportunities for people to learn
how to make their families, their homes, and their communities safer
from the threats of crime, terrorism, and local disasters.
The Clifton Park Town Board established the Clifton Park
Citizen Corps Council to encourage local citizen participation
in the areas of emergency preparedness, response and recovery. The
Council is a multi-agency collaboration, bringing Clifton Park
residents, organizations and businesses together so that Clifton
Park is safer, stronger, and better prepared to respond to threats
of all kinds.
We all have a responsibility and role to play in making our
community better. Working together, we can ensure our wellbeing and
liberty.
Sincerely,
Phil Barrett, Clifton Park Town Supervisor
Our Mission
To provide a platform from which to
empower local citizens to better prepare for and respond to,
emergency situations through education, training, and volunteering.
And create opportunities for local citizens to contribute in
assisting their neighbors and supporting their community against
threats of terrorism, public health issues, natural disasters and
crime.
