Volunteers

The Guildford Community Volunteer Patrol is a group of citizens working together pro-actively to reduce auto crime. Working in partnership with Concord Security and the RCMP, volunteers patrol in teams of two, wearing highly visible jackets, and are equipped with two-way radios. Volunteers act as “eyes only” and never get involved in confrontational situations. Law enforcement students will gain patrol, observation, radio, and note taking skills. Volunteering with the Guildford Community Volunteer Patrol provides resume-building opportunities. If you are interested in joining or would like more information, drop by the office in Guildford Town Centre, or call 604-589-5600.
