Volunteers

The citizen volunteers at the Aptos Sheriff's Service Center are instrumental in improving the quality of life in their communities.  Volunteers work as a team with the Sheriff's Office to provide a host of neighborhood services.  Volunteers help the Sheriff's Office decentralize law enforcement and to take it out into the community where it is needed most.  By giving their time to the Sheriff's Office, volunteers also ease the burden on deputies working in the field, allowing them to devote more time to fighting serious crime issues.  As a Sheriff's Office Service Center Volunteer, you could be called upon to provide a variety of services, including those listed above.

The qualifications of a Service Center Volunteer include:

• Good moral standards and a desire to take an active role in improving the quality of life in the community
• A valid California drivers license and a good driving record (depending upon assigned duties)
• Satisfactory completion of a background check
• No criminal history
  
  

If you meet these qualifications and are enthusiastic about volunteering your time, nothing else is required.  Because the Sheriff's Service Center is essentially a small business, persons with strengths in the following areas are needed:

• Verbal and written communication skills
• Computer skills
• Fund-raising/public relations interests
• Foreign language skills
• Team-player attitude
• Creative problem-solving skills
• Desire to work in youth programs
• Office administration skills
