VIPs assist the police department through support or patrol positions. Support volunteers teach 55 Alive classes, conduct tours of the station, fingerprint children at various events and conduct Buckle Up campaigns. Patrol VIPs check homes of residents on vacation, impound found bicycles, assist with event traffic safety, provide package and person transport and more.
