The Colorado Springs Police Department is looking for people with Integrity, Professionalism, Dedication, Dependability, Honesty and Trustworthiness!

CSPD Volunteers continue to be an important part of the structure of the Colorado Springs Police Department whether it's issuing tickets in Handicap Parking zones, coaching kids in sports, interpreting Spanish for CSPD staff, providing assistance or research or special projects, entering data from police reports, maintaining filing systems, tracking and facilitating the recovery of stolen property, assisting with the apprehension of wanted individuals, moving SMART (trailers that track speed) to locations throughout the City, assisting with photo developing in the crime lab, helping with record keeping and car auctions at the impound lot, etc. Since the late 1970's, the Colorado Springs Police Department has been committed to utilizing the skills of citizens in our City through the volunteer programs.
