Carson City Sheriff's Office looks to recruit for its Volunteers in Partnership program
The Carson City Sheriff's Office is expanding its Volunteers in Partnership program and is looking for local residents to assist and participate. Also known as VIPS, the sheriff's office is looking for volunteers to assist in citizen patrol, administrative support, front counter reception, and the jail visitation program.
The Sheriff's Office is also looking for a volunteer ordained minister with a confirmation letter from a parish to assist in chaplain duties.
Those interested are invited to schedule a ride along or plan time with a volunteer to see if the program would make a good fit.
This program is for residents 18 years of age or older who have an interest in assisting law enforcement and providing community service by providing an opportunity to volunteer as VIPS and serve through the Carson City Sheriff’s Office. This important partnership between CCSO and residents is designed to make the community a safer, better place to live.
Volunteers will be subject to a background check and should be willing to commit to at least 8 hours a month. However, there may be times when specialized tasks require additional hours. Volunteers receive training in various law enforcement and related functions that include: Detention, records, radio training as well as crime prevention and citizens patrol. There’s also the VIPS for Vets program.
The VIP program is consistently growing and new volunteers are always welcome. If you are interested, contact Ken Smith, Volunteer Coordinator, for further information. You can visit him at the sheriff's office, 911 East Musser Street. The telephone number is (775) 887-2020, Extension 41932 or (775) 283-7810.
