Volunteer for the
Monterey Police Department
The Monterey Police Department has a well established volunteer program!! The Monterey's Volunteers in Policing Program (M.V.P.) is designed to unite the community and its Police Department, provide services to our citizens and visitors beyond existing fiscal limits, and enable the public to learn more about what police work entails in the "90's." The M.V.P. Program is a means by which the Police Department can expand on our desire to bring the community back into the fight against crime. The concept is simple: recruit volunteers from the community, train them in various non-law enforcement tasks, and allow them to function in direct support of the local police. Monterey has proven to be an ideal environment for such a program since its citizens and Peninsula neighbors pride themselves on community involvement. Assignments include:
- Crime Analysis
- Fingerprinting
- Crime Prevention
- Pawnshop Tracking
- Special Events
- Data Entry
- Public Contacts
- Volunteering
- Neighborhood Watch
