Lobby Greeter - Public Safety
As the “greeter”, you are the first person people see as they enter the police station. A smile and a calm soothing manor is needed to direct visitors in the direction to receive the help and/or information they are requesting.
Ability to use a laptop computer and phone is helpful.
Greeters are needed Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Volunteers work 3 to 4 hour shifts.
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.
