VANCOUVER – The Vancouver Police Department is currently accepting applications for the Spring Neighbors On Watch (NOW) Academy (April 11-May 9). In anticipation of that academy, we will be hosting a volunteer recruitment open house where community members can learn more about volunteer opportunities at the Vancouver Police Department, meet current volunteers and connect with officers from the units that volunteers work closely with.
Recruitment Open House
Date: Thursday, January 25, 2024
Time: 1:30-3 p.m.
Location: Vancouver Police West Precinct Community Room (2800 NE Stapleton Rd.)
The recruitment open house is open to the public and members of the media are also invited to stop by.
NOW volunteers participate in non-confrontational patrols throughout the city, assist with identification of stolen vehicles, serve as training unit role players, and participate in projects to advance traffic safety efforts.
