The Citizen Volunteer Assistants Program (CVAP) is an essential part of the daily operations of the Oro Valley Police Department. They provide assistance to the officers and community in several ways to include: fingerprinting, traffic control during special events and major crashes, Dark House checks, Dispose-A-Med events, National Night Out, and so much more! The time donated by our CVAP participants allows the police officers to focus on more complex community concerns and law enforcement emergencies. Our CVAPs bring an assortment of skills and training from their own backgrounds. This diversity is paramount for the success of program. If you are interested in joining the CVAP team, follow the steps below.
