Who are we?
The Volunteers In Police Service or VIPS program was started in January 2001. Currently we have more than 40 volunteers of all ages and backgrounds that assist the police department in many of its everyday functions. They share a desire to do something positive about today's crime problems and contribute to our community. In 2011, VIPS contributed almost 8,500 hours of volunteer service to the Department.

To form a partnership where trained volunteers can enhance and support the department freeing up officers and staff for higher priority duties.
To place volunteers in rewarding activities which utilize their experience, interests and talents.
To provide the public the opportunity to become more familiar with the services offered by the department.
