The Community Safety Volunteer program is community policing in its most basic form. It is a structured way for residents to participate in helping provide for the safety and security of their own community.

Volunteers support the major activities of the Police Department, such as patrol, traffic, and community policing, and activities where their unique expertise and/or life experience will be of benefit.

Volunteers attend an in-house training academy consisting of field and classroom instruction and must contribute a minimum of 16 hours of volunteer time each month after graduation.

For more information, view our recruitment brochure (PDF).

The program has three broad goals:

• Community relations
• Neighborhood patrol
• Officer support and assistance
