“PARTNERS IN POLICING”
PROGRAM SEEKS VOLUNTEERS

“Partners in Policing” are members of our community who are recruited as volunteers and trained in various police related duties and function in direct support of the local police. These volunteers function as an auxiliary unit of the police department, but have no powers of arrest beyond those of any private person.

Volunteers assume many tasks, which were previously being performed by paid police personnel. This significantly enhances the department’s ability to focus its personnel resources on tasks that volunteers cannot do. The “Partners in Policing” program is designed to draw upon the experience of the citizens of our city, tapping a tremendous community resource and developing it as an assisting entity of the Tustin Police Department.
