Our mission is to enhance and support the delivery of police services to the community through a variety of volunteer services that will contribute to the public safety of the citizens of San Antonio. Welcome to the San Antonio Police Volunteer web site. Our site will provide you with information about our program including history, calendar of events, training process and the different types of volunteer opportunities that we provide. The VIP program of the San Antonio Police Department assists police officers in serving a population of 1.3 million. Our volunteers come directly from the community and we strive to maintain the highest standards of service.
Volunteers assist in a number of ways.
Volunteers also conduct tours of the Department, act as suspects, victims and family members of hostage takers during the Department's Hostage Negotiation schools. Volunteers also act as suspects and victims for cadet scenario training in our tactical village. The service provided to the Department by our volunteers is invaluable and immeasurable. As members of our law enforcement family, they bring to the organization support and a renewed sense of spirit that continues to foster the police-community partnership.
