  3. Interested? • The Paso Robles Police Department volunteers come from all walks of life, from professionals that are still in the workforce to retired senior citizens. Volunteers perform many important functions. Their participation allows police officers and other criminal justice employees to spend more time conducting proactive law enforcement activities. • Volunteers perform primarily in two areas: administration and patrol. Administrative duties include, but are not limited to, data entry, record keeping, filing, and vehicle tow hearings. Patrol duties include, but are not limited to, traffic control, special events, business checks, and home vacation checks. Volunteers assigned to patrol are required to complete a training course.

  4. Prospective members of the CVP will receive instruction and hands on training on topics that includes; • Laws and Regulations • Departmental Policy and Procedures • Patrol Procedures • Traffic Control • First Aid and CPR • Emergency Vehicle Operations • We are the “eyes and ears” of the Paso Robles Police Department. • We patrol the city with CVP’s own marked, radio equipped patrol cars looking for anything which may need police attention: a reckless driver, an open business door after hours, a suspicious person, etc. • When something is observed, a radio call is made to the Dispatch Center where an officer is notified to take action. • We conduct traffic and crowd control at special events such as parades, the Mid-State Fair and downtown events. Other duties include vacation house watch checks, crime scene protection and traffic control at accident sites. Members may also be called upon for Search and Rescue work.

  10. Benefits of Membership • In addition to serving the community, members learn exactly how the Police Department operates and why things are done in certain ways. They also receive professional training in all aspects of their work and they learn a great deal about our city and its people. • CVPP members always work in pairs so safety is paramount and the work is shared. • Opportunities include leadership roles in the organization and the ability to volunteer for even more work in the Police Department, including courier runs and clerical and professional duties. • The CVPP is a leader among similar organizations and often assists other patrols in Central Coast communities, so members get to be familiar with other volunteers and their towns. • Finally, CVPP members can work as often as they like any time, day or night, seven days a week. Patrols are set to accommodate member’s schedules.
