Volunteers In Policint (VIP's)

 

The mission of Volunteers In Policing is to expand and enhance the services that Tempe Police Department provides to the citizens of Tempe.  There are more than 130 volunteers involved in every bureau in the police department.

Volunteers In Policing was created to provide the Tempe community with the most efficient and effective Police Department. Volunteers provide the opportunity for the Department to expand and enhance services to the community.  Whether you are seeking a creative outlet, a way to make new friends, or an opportunity to become involved in your community, Tempe Police Department offers a wide variety of opportunities for volunteers.  Volunteers In Policing are rewarded with the special pride and personal growth that comes from helping others. They are involved in every division in the police department.

All volunteers must pass a background check and polygraph and commit to four hours of volunteering per week.  VIPs are a tremendous asset to the police department, bringing a broad range of skills and experience.  There is no age limit to volunteering.  

Tempe Police Department's Volunteers In Policing program is a model used throughout the U.S. and abroad.  Visitors have come from near and far to learn more about this successful program. 

You can be a VIP!  Contact the Volunteer Resources Coordinator Christine Kling at (480) 350-8780 or to find out how you can help.
