Arlington PD Volunteer Program
Volunteering is a way for people
to help the community around them.
The Arlington Police Department has
volunteer opportunities for people of
all ages and backgrounds.
Volunteers are in Skywatch towers,
patrolling neighborhoods and parks
and providing technical support in
police districts. Many are enrolling in
classes where training and hands-on
learning about police operations are
taught by officers. After graduation,
some join alumni associations and
continue their support of Arlington PD
in other ways.
“Signing up to become a volunteer
takes only a few minutes. The volunteer
process is simple, easy and rewarding,”
Step 1: Visit www.ArlingtonPD.org and click on Volunteer
Opportunities.
Step 2: Review the listing of volunteer opportunities and
apply for the assignment that interests you most.
Step 3: Once a profile is created, a Volunteer Coordinator
from the Arlington Police Department will follow
up with information about the application process,
which includes a criminal background check.
said Nanette Lombard, an Arlington
Police volunteer who has worked
in various technical roles with the
department since 2010.
“Volunteering with the Arlington
Police Department is very important
to me,” said Lombard. “It’s my way of
giving back to a community that has
been so great to me.”
