Volunteers in Policing
The Volunteers In Policing Program operates within the ACT, in support of the activities of ACT Policing. Our volunteers bring a wealth of skills, knowledge and experience to their roles which include:
- front office support at police stations
- assistance at community events
- ceremonial support (award investitures)
- catering at training exercises and workshops
- role playing for police recruit training.
The program operates between 8am and 4pm Monday to Friday with very limited after-hours or weekend work. No remuneration is paid to police volunteers.
Minimum mandatory requirements
Applicants must meet the following mandatory requirements:
- Be aged 18 years or older.
- Be an Australian Citizen at the time of application; and

Interstate applicants
The program is based in Canberra and provides support to ACT Policing only. Interstate applicants should contact police recruitment in their relevant state jurisdictions.
