CLMP advised homesteaders on how to behave during a raid and began training teams of observers in nonviolence and consensus. These teams became the Citizens Observation Groups (COG), dispatched by telephone trees, CB and KERG radio, to follow police to witness and record ocers’ conduct during raids.
