The Westminster Police Department S.C.O.R.E. Patrol is a volunteer organization established in 1996. S.C.O.R.E. members shall serve as unpaid volunteers in various non-criminal enforcement capacities, supportive of the regular patrol force and consistent with their demonstrated level of expertise, training, and the need of the Westminster Police Department. Volunteer members will be issued a unique uniform, which readily identifies them as a S.C.O.R.E. volunteer. Volunteers will not be armed, will have no arrest powers, and will not be commissioned as law enforcement officers. The intent of this program is to involve volunteers in police functions, to interest individuals in law enforcement whether they enter the career of policing or not. Through involvement, volunteers will establish an awareness of the complexities of police services.

Rewarding Volunteer Services

The S.C.O.R.E. members must perform at least 40 hours per year to maintain status in the program. Availability for training and service will consist of evenings, weekends, and holidays. While on duty, members will be covered by insurance provided and paid for by the City of Westminster. Those individuals interested in this program must complete an application. All applicants must be:

• 15 Years of age or older
• a United States citizen
• maintain a "C" average in all subject areas, if attending school
• High School Diploma or equivalent
• In good health and willing to submit to a physical exam
• Without a criminal record or history of drug usage

Selection of candidates is based on an overall assessment of each applicant's qualifications, background, oral interview, and availability to support the Westminster Police Department during periods of great need.
