“In a desire to do some type of volunteer work when I retired, I was told about the Volunteer in Police Services program.
After 30 years in law enforcement I thought it would be an interesting thing to do.
This also gives me chance to give back to our communities.”
- Jay Caldis
“I am mainly involved in the Neighborhood patrol and I get the most satisfaction helping the citizens of Concord involved in accidents, getting home after their car was stolen, or checking the security of their homes while on vacation and searching for lost children and pets. The Neighborhood Patrol has a positive influence with the community, helping to bridge the gap between the citizens of Concord and the Police Department.”

“I enjoy the quality of life that the City of Concord has to offer. I feel it is my civic duty to contribute to Concord’s successes. I have volunteered for the VIPs for 11 years and have seen the VIP program evolve into a professional organization, which allows me to continue to develop my skills. Volunteering has many rewards, among them knows that the time I devote to the Department allows a sworn officer more time to keep Concord a great place to live.”

“I thoroughly enjoy all the time I volunteer at the CPD. I find it very challenging and satisfying.
I especially like working with men and women of all ages and on the whole they all have a very positive attitude, a good sense of humor which I believe is very important. I really like my ‘bosses.’”
