Volunteer Program

A citizen volunteer in law enforcement is a member of the community who provides support services to an agency without monetary benefit. Services typically include community outreach, telephone work, research, and other administrative tasks.Citizens of almost any age and background can volunteer to help out. Citizens who volunteer to help law enforcement gain in many ways. They will:

  • Help make their communities, their cities, and their county safer from crime.
  • Gain insights into the law enforcement system and how it works.
  • Have an opportunity to improve the quality of their local law enforcement service.

What might volunteers be called to do?

  • Participate in Neighborhood Watch
  • Assisting with special events
  • Participate in search-and-rescue activities
  • Participating in role-plays and training scenarios
