After successfully completing the volunteer academy, graduates may volunteer as members of the
Park Police Volunteer Association (PPVA). Volunteer opportunities include, but are not limited to the following; bike and foot patrol, fingerprinting, and assisting at festivals and bicycle rodeos. The volunteers have proven to be a great asset to the Park Police Division.
KidsPrint
This year PPVA improved its "KidsPrint" program by purchasing a child digital fingerprinting machine through a grant from the Governor's Office of Crime Control and Prevention. The program offers a series of child digital fingerprinting events where parents bring their children, ages 3 to 15 years old, to be fingerprinted and photographed. No information is stored or uploaded to a database; the parent receives a printout of the child's information to store for safe keeping.
