The Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) Program is part of the USA Freedom Corps initiative and shares the common goal of helping communities prepare for and respond to crime, natural disasters, and other emergencies.
We believe that our VIPS program promotes the department's community partnership. We value our volunteers' diversity of skills, abilities, education, and life experiences which they nobly donate to our community. The most effective law enforcement efforts are collaborative partnerships between police and community members. Our volunteers perform a wide variety of duties throughout the department, enabling our paid personnel to concentrate on specialized tasks and better manage their workflow. Some of our programs are volunteer-driven and would not exist without them! We provide our volunteers with on-the-job training, which allows for the town of Ocean View to be well served.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, feel free to contact us by mail, phone, or by using our online form.
