The Harrisonville VIPS (Volunteers in Police Service) program provides essential support to both sworn officers and civilian staff, helping us deliver effective law enforcement services to the citizens we proudly serve.
This successful program is NOT a reserve or auxiliary police program. Instead, VIPS is a unique partnership between the Police Department and dedicated community volunteers who donate their time to support officers and strengthen our community.
VIPS members assist at many local events including:
Log Cabin Days
Shop with a Cop
4th of July Celebration
High School Graduation
National Drug Take Back Events
And many more!
VIPS are unpaid, non-sworn volunteers and do not have arrest powers, but they provide crucial support that helps our officers focus on serving the community.
Meetings are held the LAST Tuesday of each month at 6:00 PM at the Harrisonville Police Department.
Applicants must:
• Be 18 years of age
• Complete an application (available at the Police Department)
• Pass a background check, which may include interviews similar to those for sworn officers
If you’ve ever wanted to make a difference, meet great people, and support your community in a meaningful way — this is your opportunity!
Stop by the Harrisonville Police Department to pick up your application today or email VIPS@harrisonville.com!
