What Community Crime Patrol does
Mission

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Patrolling six neighborhoods in the city of columbus by uniformed, non-police personnel to deter and detect crime, as well as assisting local police. Patrollers worked a total of 10,188 hours in the following areas: university district, franklinton, merion village, german village, northland/north linden, east main street special improvement district and the city of columbus' recreation and parks dept. Patrollers reported 16 significant incidents, resulting in arrest, summons, ticket issued, written report or squad run, they assisted just over 1,100 residents in need of directions, help with car trouble, or information requests, just under 75 reports of code violations, such as unsecured vacant structures or a junk car parked in a yard, were submitted to the city of columbus' code enforcement department.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $18k to $96k (+437%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 89% · 2022 95% · 2023 96% · 2024 87% · 2025 93%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of COMMUNITY CRIME PATROL’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (62% for the typical peer).
