Abstract
The use of volunteers in police agencies is not a new idea, but it has increasing appeal to agencies that are strapped for revenue in tough economic times. Although there may be some substantial public knowledge regarding the role of auxiliary or reserve police officers, their role being a bit more visible and recognizable, there is often little public awareness of the activities that numerous day-to-day citizens may perform for their local or regional police agencies. These activities are usually not immediately apparent to the public eye but, for administrators who are often overwhelmed with myriad details and duties, the work of volunteers who can attend to duties and functions that take time from front-line personnel to engage in direct services can be invaluable.
