The Mission
The Purpose and mission of the Purcellville Citizen Support Team (PCST) is to aid and support the Purcellville Police in "the prevention of crime and the promotion of safety." The team members act as the "eyes and ears" of the Pucellville Police and must go through a recruit training program and then serve a probationary period of 1 year before being accepted into full membership. When on active duty with the Purcellville Police each member has a Police Dept. Unit Designator and is under the direct supervision and command of police officials. In addition to routine street patrols members are subject to emergency call-up and participate in special events such as providing traffic control at civic events and at the scene of accidents, fires and other crowd management situations.The PCST has donated many hours of time to the Town of Purcellville in just these types of events. We feel, in this rapidly growing community, more can be done. The PCST continually welcomes dedicated people to devote time to our efforts.
