Covid-19 has had significant financial impact on the Patrol. Before the pandemic, the Patrol held an annual fundraiser in which an average of over $40,000 in private donations were raised. These donations also secured funding for larger capital expenditures such as modernizing our communication equipment and upgrading personal protective equipment, and training for members in addition to maintaining and upkeep of both Utility 2 (fully owned by CCFPP) and Patrol 2 (town-owned). Funds raised allow CCFPP to continue to protect and serve the community to the fullest.
The Cos Cob Fire Police Patrol, Inc. (CCFPP/The Patrol) is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit organization dedicated to protecting the residents of the Town of Greenwich since 1927.

Our members respond to an average of 1,000 calls a year. As a not-for-profit organization, CCFPP relies heavily on private donations in order to cover our annual operating budget.
