Our Volunteer Program is designed
to increase partnerships with the community and police. We are
committed to providing you an opportunity to become a tool in
breaking down barriers and enhancing communication between citizens
and police.
Our goal is to provide
an opportunity for citizen’s to give back and gain from
their community; to break down barriers; and to enhance communication
between citizens and the police.
Volunteerism provides a great opportunity for citizens to become involved
in their community. It provides volunteers a new purpose to look forward
to each time they donate time to their favorite cause. Many people meet
new friends and gain experiences. |
