Volunteers sought for sheriff's program

The Carson City Sheriff's Office is looking to expand the Volunteers In Partnership with the Sheriff (VIPS) program. Special consideration will be given to senior citizens, and Spanish speakers would be a plus.

The department is looking for qualified citizens to assist in the patrol division and in the Jail Visiting Program. All candidates will be trained by the Sheriff's Office.

To qualify as a volunteer, you must have a valid Nevada driver's license, no felony arrests, pass a background check and work well with others. For more information contact Ken Smith, volunteer coordinator for the Carson City Sheriff's Office, at 887-2020 or 283-7810.
