Title
Presentation - Recognition of National Volunteer Appreciation Week, April 7-13, 2019.
Body
In 2018, the Deer Park Citizen’s Police Academy Alumni Association (DPCPAAA) and Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) logged a total of 3,396 hours with the Police Department working traffic control at parades, assisting in Evidence and Property, helping with the Peace Officer Memorial, conducting Handicap Parking Enforcement and Citizens on Patrol, tracking/maintaining inventory for all departmental radar guns, performing vehicle equipment inspections, assisting with Vacation Safety School and Drug Take Back day, participating in the Volunteer Victim’s Assistance Program and maintaining training certificates and educational advancements for staff. Our Volunteer Chaplain Program also added to our total number of volunteer hours whether they were responding to call outs, organizing Prayer at the Pole, or attending police swearing-in ceremonies. This is equal to 1.6 full time positions donated for greater service to the citizens of Deer Park and their Police Department. In conjunction with Volunteer Appreciation Week, April 7-13, 2019, we would recognize all of our volunteers who selflessly contributed their time to the Deer Park Police Department and the City of Deer Park.
