CHP Looking For Volunteers In Danville

DANVILLE, CA — The California Highway Patrol (CHP) Dublin Area is looking for motivated citizens from Danville, Livermore, Dublin, San Ramon, and Pleasanton who want to give something back to their community as Senior Volunteers. Senior Volunteers are CHP employees who assist in both administrative and field capacities.

"We are interested in local citizens who are interested in public service and effecting change in the community. Senior volunteers will find working with the California Highway Patrol and law enforcement extremely rewarding and fun," said Captain Christopher Sherry, Commander of the Dublin CHP Area.

Applicants must be 55 years and older; be available to work a minimum of 4 hours per week, pass a background check; have a good driving record, and complete CHP Senior Volunteer training program.

The objectives of the CHP Senior Volunteer Program are:

1. To assist the CHP in providing enhanced public service to the community.

2. To provide an opportunity for citizen volunteers to make a definitive contribution toward improving public safety and service.

3. To instill among citizen volunteers an understanding and appreciation of the justice system, human relations, and ethics in the field of law enforcement.

Anyone interested in applying should contact Officer Tyler Hahn at thahn@chp.ca.gov before Feb. 8. Interviews are expected to be held in March.
