Volunteers In Public Safety (VIPS)
Join
the VIPS of the Rochester Police Department, Rochester Firefighters,
or the Olmsted County Sheriffs Office.
Now you can help your community to be a safer place to live
and play by volunteering to help. The most effective way to
keep crime and other problems away from our city is to make
areas "unattractive" to the lawbreakers. To do this
a cooperative effort is needed by the Police Department, Fire
Department and Sheriff's Office and community. Volunteers
are being solicited to join this community-oriented group
sponsored by the departments. Regardless of the amount of
time you have to offer, this exciting new group will give
you the opportunity to help the community where YOU live and
play.
Volunteers must possess the following qualification:
ability to work well with others
ability to follow procedures accurately and responsibility
strong interpersonal communication skills
desire to aid in the achievement of police, fire, sherrif
as well as community goals and objectives
successful completion of a background investigation including
criminal history and driving check
ALL Volunteers will be provided
with:
classroom and field training
equipment and clothing to properly perform duties
