Omaha Coalition of Citizen Patrols (OCCP) is a group of volunteer unarmed patrollers in Omaha, Nebraska, United States.^[1]

It was founded in 2005 and comprises 36 neighborhood patrol and watch groups such as Home Park Citizen Patrol.^[2] Last year alone there were about 1,000 volunteers who donated nearly 20,000 hours of their time to the City of Omaha to make it a safer place. Omaha Citizen Patrols were started as a response to increased criminal activity in a given area or neighborhood.

Citizen Patrollers make a visible presence by driving through the local area usually at night or on the weekends to send a clear message that illegal activity will not be tolerated. All patrollers are trained by the Omaha Police Department which includes a four-hour class. The OCCP has extra patrols on Halloween,^[3] and has more than 300 members currently.^[4]
