Mission Statement

We serve the city of Vancouver with courage, strength, integrity, compassion and pride.
Description
To support the Vancouver Police Department in providing professional, progressive and innovative police services.
Volunteers are an important asset to the Vancouver Police Department. When citizens who receive police services are helping to design, prioritize, and even deliver services, a closer connection is made between the police department and the public. That is what community policing is all about. By offering volunteer opportunities to the community, we hope to encourage citizen involvement and community empowerment.
The VIPS Program is not intended to replace any functions performed by police personnel. Rather, its role is to augment and complement services provided by the Vancouver Police Department to the community. Volunteers provide VPD with the ability to use existing funds and paid personnel in a more productive manner.
