The Auxiliary Police Program is a great opportunity for private citizens to promote public safety through their own personal participation. Volunteer Auxiliary Police continue to be an invaluable resource to our Department and communities. Their patrol presence and keen observation and reporting of incidents requiring police response, as well as interaction with the public, aides in crime reduction and enhances police-community relations. Another important function of Auxiliary Police volunteers is serving as a citizen ready reserve in the event of an emergency or natural disaster. An Auxiliary Police Officer is a non-compensated, non-commissioned officer who does not directly have arrest powers, they are under direct supervision of a commissioned peace officer. Volunteer uniformed Auxiliary Police are deployed with commissioned officers assigned to various patrol duties helping to provide security and a sense of safety for members of their community. These duties included high visibility patrols in residential and commercial areas, etc. Moreover, additional assignments have included traffic control, community events, crime prevention functions and to assist the police during times of natural or man made disasters . Members undergo extensive training from the Police Department and are prepared to respond at a moment's notice in the event of an emergency. Auxiliary officers must be between 21 and 65 years of age to apply. We are currently actively recruiting members! Contact us at (417) 673-1916 Auxiliary Division Aux. Officer Ted Lewis Aux.
