VIPS is designed to find quality volunteers who will enhance the work of the Austin Police Department. We believe that utilizing a volunteer work force will strengthen community relations and help build strong partnerships. The program currently has 300+ volunteers that range in age from 18 to 86. Volunteers work throughout the department either with a specialized program or within a unit. For more information, contact Peter Freeman at 512-974-4280 or email.
