The Volunteers in Policing (VIP) program acknowledges and facilitates the important contribution of volunteers to the delivery of police services to the community and the efforts they make to ensure a safer place to live.
When citizens who receive police services are helping design, prioritize, and even deliver those services, a closer connection is made between the Police Department and the public. This is what community policing is all about.
We recruit a wide-range of volunteers including students, retirees, employed people, and police academy graduates.
We actively engage in efforts to increase cultural diversity within the department. We especially encourage women, minorities, senior citizens and young adults to consider applying for volunteer assignments.
Volunteers In Policing provides specialized training for all volunteers. No experience is necessary. Applications can also be obtained at the Fairbanks Police Department or visit our Application Form online.
