The patrols will gear up with training beginning Oct. 1. Anyone 55 or older interested may call 648-1500.
They'll be on the lookout for terrorists, who local officials say may find it easy to blend into neighborhoods where people frequently move in and out.
Targeted for patrols beginning later this year are the Bradley community south of Mulberry and the Combee Road and Wabash Avenue neighborhoods in Lakeland.
