The Canby Police Department Volunteer Program is designed to increase partnerships with the community and police. We are committed to providing you an opportunity to become a tool in breaking down barriers and enhancing communication between citizens and police.

Our goal is to provide an opportunity for citizen’s to give back and gain from their community; to break down barriers; and to enhance communication between citizens and the police.

Volunteerism provides a great opportunity for citizens to become involved in their community. It provides volunteers a new purpose to look forward to each time they donate time to their favorite cause. Many people meet new friends and gain experiences.
