SVCPC Volunteer Information
Become an SVCPC Volunteer
Volunteers with the South Vancouver Community Policing Centre take part in many different activities and programs. Volunteers are encouraged to join our Bike Patrol, Foot Patrol, and Speed Watch programs, as well as take part in various other initiatives such as our annual Christmas Toy Drive and Childrens' Bike Rodeos.
There are many benefits to volunteering with the South Vancouver Community Policing Centre. Our volunteers give back to the community while learning valuable communication skills, observation skills, team work skills, and developing great friendships.
Aspiring police officers are able to greatly increase their competitiveness as a potential applicant to one of the local police departments. Aspiring volunteers must be at least 17 years of age and able to pass a criminal background check.
The criminal background check is conducted free of charge! If you have some time to spare, and would like to make a positive difference in your community, come and join our team. You'll be glad you did!
