Senior Volunteer Program
The
Auburn/Newcastle office of the CHP is looking for volunteers to
perform various tasks in their office or in the field.
Office duties involve assisting the general support officers in
their related duties, and assisting clerical staff with data
entry and general office functions (no uniform required).
Field duties (SVP uniform required) include towing and deploying
their radar trailer, being a liaison for the department with
elementary schools, monitoring traffic in and around school
zones. Volunteers will participate in ride-alongs with
officers. However, under no circumstances will
volunteers be permitted to act in an enforcement capacity. Volunteers
will be our eyes and ears, the officers will handle any
effacement contacts.
Volunteers
will receive "on the job training" and classroom
training. Training will include a departmental overview,
defensive driving, basic trailer towing, the fundamentals of
traffic radar, first aid, basic computer orientation and other
functions.
Volunteers
must be 50 years old, with no felony convictions, and be willing
to work a minimum of 8 hours per month (minimum of 4 hour
shifts). Candidates must be able to work without
supervision, be a member of AARP, and be willing to purchase
their own SVP uniforms.
Qualified
persons interested in participating in this program should
contact Sgt. Ed Bertola or Officer Joe Edwards at (916)
663-3344.
