WHAT IS THE POLICE AUXILIARY?

 The Glendora Auxiliary Police was created in 1970 to provide a group of trained, informed volunteers who could be called upon during emergency situations or in the event of a disaster. The Police Auxiliary has evolved into a multi-task-oriented program whose success relies in the commitment and unique skills offered by both senior citizens and other community-minded individuals.

 WHAT DOES THE POLICE AUXILIARY DO?

Volunteer officers perform a wide variety of duties both at the police station and out in the community. At the station they may be called upon to fingerprint job applicants.   While out on patrol they conduct business foot patrol and provide extra eyes and ears to assist the department, help with traffic control, among other things. Another facet of Auxiliary service is participation in Special Details which could range from appearances at community events, parades, and check-points or emergency response in times of disaster.

 IS TRAINING PROVIDED?

Every volunteer is provided with dozens of hours of training in Police Auxiliary-related duties. Currently, completion of the police department’s Citizens Academy is a prerequisite followed by an additional Police Auxiliary Academy. This training is held for specific areas related to specific assignments and responsibilities.

WHAT IS THE COST?

Volunteers will be expected to purchase their own uniforms and shoes and along with some equipment.  Costs will vary depending on source.  Worker’s Compensation benefits are provided for each Auxiliary Officer.
