Volunteer Citizen Patrolman

Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office  ​2013 - present

 

The Volunteer Citizen Patrol Program (VCPP) is based on the concept of utilizing the talents and skills of volunteers from within the local community as partners in public safety. Citizen patrol volunteers are specially trained by the Sheriff’s Office to respond to many non-emergency and routine calls for service that do not require law enforcement or regulatory authority.

The VCPP was created to reduce crime, improve the safety of our citizens, improve the quality of life within Hillsborough County and allow community members to become active participants in the process of crime control and prevention.

Volunteers donate their time to patrol while driving specially marked Sheriff’s Office vehicles. Volunteers receive training in areas such as crime prevention, first-aid, traffic control, and community policing. The VCPP consists of three shifts per day, patrolling up until midnight, seven days a week. Each VCPP vehicle will patrol with two volunteers per shift.
