CHICO POLICE VOLUNTEERS HELP PATROL HOMES
CHICO, Calif. March 25 2021– If you are planning a trip out of town, you might be able to get some extra security from Chico Police Department volunteers, known as VIPS.
The acronym VIPS stands for “Volunteers in Police Services.”
One of the 50 VIPS in Chico will volunteer to drive to your home in one of their marked cars to keep an eye on your property.
The service is free, said VIP John Carver.
“We are a non-profit organization,” Carver said, “so donations are welcome.
Those donations from the community keep us doing what we’re doing, and the programs that we offer,” he explained.
