Our volunteers are an integral part of the Sacramento Police Department. In cooperation with our volunteers, we strive to provide a safe environment for our community. As a Police Department volunteer, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the community’s overall quality of life through your service.
Volunteers provide investigative, technical, office/clerical, and customer service support in a variety of areas of the department. You let us know what your area of expertise or interest is, and we will do our best to place you where you can gain valuable and fulfilling law enforcement experience.
Tasks are varied and extensive, and include: answering phones, filing records, data entry, typing, providing information to visitors, assisting at special events, and other duties as needed.
The minimum age is 18 years old with no maximum age limit. All applicants must complete a standard department pre-employment application and background questionnaire before being considered for assignment. You must have a good driving record if you are required to use a City vehicle while performing your volunteer duties.
