What is a Citizen Volunteer?
A citizen volunteer in police/sheriff service is a member of the community who provides support services to a law enforcement agency without monetary benefits. Services typically include community outreach, telephone work, research, and other administrative tasks.
Why Volunteer in Law Enforcement?
Law Enforcement agencies often strive to meet public safety challenges with limited resources. Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, most agencies have needed even more resources for homeland security efforts. Citizens can step in and help fill critical gaps in order to free officers to focus on these and other priorities.
Who can Volunteer?
Citizens of almost any age and background can volunteer to help out. Even youth can volunteer – many agencies offer a Law Enforcement Explorer Program.
What are the benefits of Volunteering?
Citizens who volunteer to help law enforcement gain in many ways. They will
- Help make their communities, their cities, and their country safer from crime and terrorism.
- Gain insights into the law enforcement system and how it works.
- Have an opportunity to improve the quality of their local law enforcement service.
