Police Volunteer Opportunities
One of the most important aspects of the AACOPD volunteer program is the diversity of responsibilities that volunteers undertake on a daily basis. Volunteers create and maintain a delicate balance in the Department by providing essential services in both sworn and civilian-related duties. In this way, volunteers serve as a bridge between officers and civilians as they represent their communities in all aspects of Department-related functions.
Reserve Officer Program:
The Reserve Officer is a uniformed assistant to the Anne Arundel County Police in areas such as traffic control, administrative duties, dignitary details and community relations functions. The Reserve Officer is not compensated monetarily, is not authorized to carry weapons, and has no vested arrest authority from this program. Uniforms and police transportation will be furnished for official duties. Training in police procedures is conducted in both formal classroom and on-the-job training sessions.
VIPS Program:
The VIPS (Volunteers In Police Service) Program is designed to involve civilian volunteers in non-enforcement roles within the Anne Arundel County Police Department. Members of the VIPS Program share their time and talents performing such tasks as clerical assistance, computer programming, crime analysis, data processing, graphic arts, photography and other tasks as the need arises. Volunteers in Animal Control help with the animals and assist the public who visit the facility. VIPS personnel do not wear uniforms nor are they compensated monetarily. Applicants must be age 18 or older, have a Maryland Driver’s License with a good driving record, and be capable of performing a minimum of 16 hours of volunteer service per month.
Chaplain Corps:
The Police Chaplain Program provides a ministry presence to the department. The Chaplains provide pastoral care to members of the department and their families. At times they also serve members of the general public. Chaplains provide service on both a proactive and reactive basis:
Proactive Responses
- Riding along with both Officers and Detectives while they work
- Visitations to police personnel at the stations, hospitals, etc
- Providing training in related law enforcement topics
Reactive Responses
- Crisis Response - Emergency call-outs on a 24 hour / 7 day a week basis
- Crisis Intervention - Mediation or intervention for suicide attempts or threats
- Death Notifications - Going with an officer to notify next of kin
- Special Services - Funerals, memorial services, special department functions, officer graduations, etc
