Volunteers in Police Services
Citizens that have graduated from the Citizen’s Academy will be trained in various police-related duties. This allows the volunteers to provide direct support to a variety of Law Enforcement efforts. Volunteers function as an auxiliary unit of the Police Department but, have no powers of arrest beyond those of any private citizen. They will serve as extra “eyes, ears, and helping hands.” Volunteers will not carry weapons but will have direct communication with our Police Officers. This enables them to quickly report any suspicious activities, thereby enabling the Police Department to better serve the community.
