The warm weather has meant more calls for service for the Portage RCMP.  Constable Dave Spakowski says it's not unusual to receive more calls when the weather is as nice as it has been.  With the added work Spakowski says the Portage detachment will often rely on citizens on patrol to keep a watchful eye on places where the RCMP aren't able to be. 
He notes Portage currently has between 25 and 30 Citizens on Patrol members and they're looking to add more. If you would like to volunteer you can call the Portage detachment.  Spakowski notes the program is a great volunteer opportunity for youth and hours are flexible.
