During National Volunteer Week, Prince George RCMP would like to thank and acknowledge their many dedicated volunteers who are committed to facilitating a safer, more sustainable community through effective programs and services.

“Volunteers make such a difference and we are grateful for our volunteers who have provided us with their amazing generosity and dedication over the years,” says Sergeant Craig Douglass, Commander of the Community Policing Unit.

There are five distinct groups of RCMP volunteers offering valuable services to the community:

1. RCMP Patrol Volunteers – patrol the city reporting suspicious activity, provide Speed Watch and distracted driver campaigns, conduct foot patrols, and assist with crime prevention programs and services including special events and home security assessments.
2. Community Policing – front line volunteers serving witness subpoenas, fielding inquiries, providing customer assistance, 529 Garage anti bike theft clinics, and business and home security evaluations.
3. Restorative Justice – work with youth and adult offenders, providing an effective alternative to the criminal justice system with a focus on accountability, problem solving and community healing.
4. Victim Services – liaise between the victim, Court system, law enforcement and community agencies, providing helpful referral services.
5. Safety Bear – the goodwill ambassador and mascot of the Prince George RCMP, attends special events and citywide functions with a whimsical approach.
