- No felony or misdemeanor arrests.
- No drug or alcohol abuse.
- Subject to background check.
- Valid California Driver License.

Volunteer Opportunities The County of Los Angeles Volunteer program offers volunteers an opportunity to be involved with nearly every aspect of a station. Volunteers may choose to be a part of such traditional functions as:

Clergy Program - Clergy members in the community who ride with the deputies and assist in dealing with human crisis.

Front Desk - Volunteers work the station front counter in a Volunteer Uniform to greet the public and provide station services.

Clerical - Volunteers work in the station secretariat and assist with filing of reports and work under the direction of the secretaries.

Volunteers On Patrol - What is the V.O.P. Program? This program performs primarily nonhazardous duties, which are currently performed by patrol deputies. The program will therefore, allow patrol deputies to perform the more hazardous duties they have been trained to do. This helps our Department to better achieve its goal of serving the community. Volunteers work in volunteer vehicles in a volunteer uniform assisting in the field as additional eyes and ears in the community. Some of the tasks V.O.P. members complete are:

• Patrolling the community for criminal activity or safety hazards
• Residential vacation checks
• Park and school safety checks
• Graffiti watch
• Non-Hazardous directed patrol assignments
• Requests from City/County services
• Search for missing children
• Exterior shopping mall checks
• Fire watch
• Traffic control
• Foot/Vehicle patrol
