The San Diego Police Department is looking for more people to join its Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol program. Sept. 2, 2023.“It’s really about being visible because there’s only so many officers out there, and they need to respond to emergency calls,” Barry Landers, an R.S.V.P. member, said.“It’s 50 years old, actually,” Del Toro said. “We had one [volunteer] in our program that was 83.”
No prior law enforcement experience is necessary. Del Toro said that all of the volunteers are sent to a two-week academy to prepare for the role. “I’ve always wanted to serve our community and do things that will make our country and our communities better,” Armand Olvera, an R.S.V.P. member of 14 years and veteran, said.
