City of Sunrise Police Department volunteers serve the community while learning more about law enforcement and making new friends. Volunteers act in a variety of roles - such as providing administrative assistance to the Department, greeting visitors at the Public Safety Complex, and lending a hand at community special events.
Specialized volunteer programs within the Department include:
Seniors and Lawmen Together (SALT) Council. SALT is comprised of mature/retired leaders working in cooperation with public safety and elder affairs professionals. Through education and communication, SALT strives to reduce the criminal victimization of older citizens and enhance the delivery of law enforcement services to seniors. For more information, please call (954) 746-3384.
Police Explorers. This program provides a means through which young men and women ages 14 to 20 may decide, via actual experience, whether they would like to pursue a law enforcement career. The Explorer program focuses on community service and citizen involvement, and may also include recreational activities and competitive events. For more information, please call (954) 746-3653.
