Volunteer Programs

The Vacaville Police Department has valued the
assistance of volunteers for over twenty years.
They have played a valuable part in the intervention of elder abuse, identifying stolen property, tracking crime statistics, and enforcing parking regulations. There are currently sixty Volunteers In Police Service who serve a minimum of sixteen hours each month. These volunteers greatly enhance the Department’s ability to serve the community by providing services that allow police staff to focus their attention on other critical areas of law enforcement. 

In 2007, the department was the recipient of an IACP Award.

Volunteers serve in several capacities:

• Data entry of citations, pawn slips, and other information into the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System
• Clerical and data entry of statistics that track local drug and gang activity
• Livescan (a public fingerprinting service)
• Parking Enforcement
• Neighborhood Patrol
• Park Watch
• Senior Wellness and Vacation Checks; and much more
