Book Synopsis

Today, it is estimated there are over 200,000 volunteers in police work throughout the United States. Although the need for such volunteers has never been greater, there is a lack of published materials regarding the nature of volunteer police work and how qualified citizens may augment police services.

  • Highlights what average Americans have done and are currently doing to safeguard their communities
  • Presents contributions of police and safety volunteers at all levels of governmentincluding the work of FEMA volunteers, the Civil Air Patrol, and the Coast Guard Auxiliary
