The CPVs are "dedicated to making a difference in our community" through a proactive partnership with the Cobourg Police Service involving a variety of highly visible, non-confrontational activities in areas of safety, security, and the support service, in order to preserve and enhance the quality of life in Cobourg and Hamilton Township.

The Cobourg Police Service is very proud of our Volunteer contingent. Forty Cobourg citizens volunteer their time to assist the Service in a variety of capacities including child fingerprinting, radar speed awareness, railway safety & special event security. Students of Sir Sandford Fleming Police Foundation program also volunteer at as part of their credit requirements.

Volunteers are expected to offer 12 hours a month and it usually takes four training sessions to adapt to, and understand the operating procedures. Serving the public at the reception desk or helping the public at the "Trailer in the Park" assisting the Cobourg Police Services is a rewarding experience.
