Citizens on Patrol looking for a few good volunteers

Published 12:29 pm Thursday, May 9, 2013

The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office seeks volunteers for its Citizens On Patrol (COP) and Community Resources programs.

COP volunteers support unincorporated areas of the county providing Sheriff’s Office presence to enhance public safety, enforce parking-prohibited regulations, conduct home vacation checks, process abandoned vehicles and assist with traffic control and community events.

Volunteers commit at least 16 hours per month and attend monthly training meetings.

Community resource volunteers assist in the Sheriff’s Information Office at the Kitsap Mall in Silverdale answering basic questions, taking minor crime reports and may assist with community crime prevention programs throughout the county.

All candidates must complete and pass an extensive background check.
