Early in the formation of our program we attended a VIPS training seminar in Dallas, TX. It was there that we found direction, guidance, mentorship and a clear direction for program development. The fact is if it weren’t for the national VIPS Program, our program would not be anywhere near what it is today.

Advancing an Existing Law Enforcement Volunteer Program

After establishing a law enforcement volunteer program, many coordinators find themselves asking, “What’s next?” This training works to answer that question by providing information about volunteer management issues, advocacy and sustainability, innovative ideas, personnel issues, engaging youth, public health crises, recognition, and funding. By expanding the vision of a program coordinator, the volunteer program will have the potential to grow and succeed.

Who Should Attend

Law enforcement volunteer coordinator or agency representative who is responsible for managing a volunteer program.
