Surrey – Surrey RCMP is once again accepting volunteer applications for individuals interested in participating in our community programs and attending community engagement events providing public safety information.
Applications are accepted from January 29th to February 28th 2019 through the Surrey RCMP website.
This is a great opportunity to get involved in your community and learn more about what you can do to help ensure Surrey continues to be a safe and livable city along with gaining valuable experience.
In 2018, volunteers contributed over 10,000 hours to programs and events in Surrey educating the public on all matters of crime prevention, traffic safety, and community engagement. The Stolen Auto Recovery Program (SAR) in particular had a very successful year with 42 stolen vehicles being recovered thanks to the keen eyes of volunteers. Out of those vehicles recovered, four arrests also occurred as a result of volunteers’ hard work.
Many volunteers enjoy the different aspects of each program as it gives them an opportunity to have an immediate impact on reducing crime and improving public safety in their community.
