The Civilian Volunteers Assisting Police program was instituted in January of 1994 and registered as Florida non-profit organization. The program teams volunteers with the Tampa Police Department to enhance the mission of the police department overall, with special attention to community oriented policing efforts. Volunteers may be asked to assist officers in crime prevention programs, filing reports, data entry, answering telephones and performing clerical tasks. TPD volunteers have also been involved in fund raising events for the Police Memorial Fund for fallen officers who have given their lives in the line of duty, as well as other various community projects. How do I join the C.V.A.P.?Fill out the New Volunteer's Registration Form and submit it to the Tampa Police Department. Once received, the application will be forwarded to the Personnel Bureau and you will be contacted for an interview within seven days. After successful completion of a background check, you will be scheduled for an orientation tour and offered the opportunity to choose a unit to work in and duties to accomplish.
