The Whittier Police Department Volunteer Program began in February 1995. At that time, 23 citizens attended an academy, which graduated in March of 1995. Since its inception, the department has conducted a yearly “Citizen’s Academy” for interested Whittier and Santa Fe Springs residents. The program now boasts over 40 volunteers who donate an average of 950 hours per month to the Cities of Whittier and Santa Fe Springs. These volunteers work in every division and area within the department. Some of their duty assignments include Uniform Patrol, Investigations, Communications, Community Relations, Records, and Special Assignments and Events. These volunteers range in age from 26 to 82 years old and every one contributes to the Department’s philosophy of “Quality People, Quality Service.” The volunteers group has become so inculcated into the police system that many full time employees throughout the city ask for their assistance. Some of the volunteer activities/assignments include: Uniform Patrol Investigations Vehicle Patrol Crime Report Follow-ups Foot Patrol Victim Re-interviews Bicycle Patrol Career Criminal Analysis Sub-station Manning (Whittwood Mall) Computer/Data Entry Graffiti location identification/suppression Misdemeanor Investigations Vacation Checks “Suspended” Reports Business Checks Pawn Shop Records Coordination Parks/School Patrol M.O.
