VIPS Program Celebrates 10th Anniversary in 2012

During President George W. Bush’s 2002 State of the Union Address he laid the groundwork for the National Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) Program. With financial support from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice, and management from the International Association of Chiefs of Police the VIPS Program will celebrate its 10th year of providing support and resources to state, local, tribal, and campus law enforcement agencies interested in developing or enhancing a volunteer program and for citizens who wish to volunteer their time and skills with a law enforcement agency.
