The VIPS Program provides support and resources for agencies interested in developing or enhancing a volunteer program and for citizens who wish to volunteer their time and skills with a law enforcement agency. The program's ultimate goal is to enhance the capacity of state and local law enforcement to utilize volunteers. The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) manages the VIPS Program in partnership with the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. VIPS Goals: •learn about promising practices being used in existing VIPS programs and share this information with law enforcement agencies that want to expand their programs. •increase the use of volunteers in existing programs. •help citizens learn about and become involved in VIPS programs in their communities. •help agencies without volunteer programs get them started. VIPS Resources The foundation of VIPS is the Web site www.policevolunteers.org, which serves as a gateway to information for law enforcement agencies and citizens interested in law enforcement volunteer programs. |
