About us
Our Community Policing volunteers come from a wide variety of backgrounds and demographics. The program offers volunteer opportunities during the week, evenings on Friday and Saturday nights and the occasional weekend. Each volunteer has a different reason, or combination of reasons, supporting their desire to volunteer their time, talent and energy with the RCMP. Our program attracts people from all walks of life such as retirees, professionals, trades people, parents, post secondary students, young people etc etc. Some use the experience and training gained to develop towards careers in law enforcement, the aux Constable program, emergency services and the military.
