As part of National Volunteer Week (April 21-27), Halifax Regional Police (HRP) is recognizing its volunteers who make many of our community outreach and crime prevention programs possible.
On April 25, at a formal recognition event, Halifax Regional Police will recognize volunteers with Burnside Watch, Citizens on Patrol, Seniors’ Home Safety Program, Cops ’n Kids Program, HRP Youth Program, Neighbourhood Watch, Police Chaplains, Victim Services as well as our internal Employee and Family Assistance Program. Collectively HRP’s volunteers, numbering in excess of 160, contribute over tens of thousands of hours each year, helping to make our community a better place to live, work and play.
HRP is always recruiting volunteers. Citizens interested in making a difference in our community are urged to visit http://www.halifax.ca/police/programs/volunteering.html or contact HRP’s Volunteer Programs Coordinator at 490-6976 or burnssh@halifax.ca.
