Boards and Commissions

Citizen Volunteer Assistants Program (CVAP)
Community policing is foundational to public safety in Oro Valley, and that is due—in no small part—to the volunteerism within the Oro Valley Police Department. The Citizen Volunteer Assistants Program (CVAP) is an essential part of the daily operations at OVPD. Volunteers help with fingerprinting, traffic control during special events or major crashes and Dispose-A-Med events to name a few. To fill out an application form, click here.

Regional Groups
Sometimes, volunteerism goes beyond Town limits, and volunteers work to ensure communication and collaboration with other jurisdictions and organizations. Regional groups include the Pima County Bond Advisory Subcommittee, the RTA Citizens Accountability Committee, the RTA Environmental Planning Advisory Committee and the Tucson/Pima Bicycle Advisory. If you would like to learn more about these groups, you can call the Oro Valley Town Clerk's Office at 520-229-4700.
