Graffiti Eradication - Public Safety
We need assistance in painting over graffiti in the City of West Palm Beach. If you can handle a paint brush or roller then this position may be what you’re looking for. This volunteer needs to be able to work on Wednesday mornings (8 a.m. to noon). The volunteer will help take photos, write up incident descriptions, gather evidence, and some graffiti removal. NO special skills needed.
Also, we are working on a project that will need many volunteers (10-20) on Saturdays mornings for about 3 to 5 hours on a monthly basis.
Procedure for Becoming a Volunteer
All volunteers must go through this procedure to become a volunteer with the police and fire departments.
1. Complete an application. (Same application is used for both departments.)
2. A background check is run on all applicants.*
3. If the background check comes back clean, then the application is sent to the Criminal Investigation Unit for a CVSA
(Computer Voice Stress Analysis) appointment to be set up.
This test is a modern version of a polygraph test.
4. Once the applicant has passed the above steps, they are called in for an interview with the Volunteer Coordinator and/or the department supervisors in the area of interest.
This whole process could take as much as a month from start to finish.
*Note: Volunteer positions that do not require the volunteers to work inside the buildings will only have to go through Step 2.
