The Tempe Police Department is looking for people interested in investing more into our great community. Working with City Councilmember Robin Arredondo-Savage, the department has expanded its volunteer program to include providing extra security patrols at neighborhood parks. This volunteer team works handin- hand with Tempe Police Officers by providing motorist services and spending time in and around neighborhood parks. The aim is to ensure parks remain safe so they can be enjoyed by everyone. Current volunteers are ready to train others who want to step into a role designed to foster positive interactions among residents, visitors and guests. Volunteers are already spending time around neighborhood parks but more are needed. Training, equipment and a vehicle are provided. The department can work around most schedules of available time.
