The City of Carlsbad Police Department's volunteer program was established to support police department personnel in their activities of protection and service to the community. The role of volunteers is to supplement the regular professional staff, freeing them to provide the best service possible to City of Carlsbad residents and visitors.
There are several ways to get involved in the local police department. By becoming a volunteer in police service, a person joins an elite team of volunteers working hand-in-hand with law enforcement to improve the city while giving something back to the community.
