| Our early challenges were focused on the development of our organization and program. Within the first year we became incorporated within the State of Virginia and registered with the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Along with this we adopted our Corporate Bylaws which define our Team structure and further refine our relationship with the Leesburg Police Department. The next challenge was creation of our Standard Operating Procedures, defining everything from a code of conduct to the use of our equipment in the many applications we were developing and functions we were taking on for the Department. Our current challenge is finding a sufficient number of new volunteer members to handle the ever-increasing trust and new functions the Police Department and the Town of Leesburg place upon us. The more we show we are able to handle as an organization, the more activities are given to us. |
