A new article in Police Chief Magazine is drawing attention to the growing importance of volunteer programs in modern policing. Authored by Dr. Leo S. F. Lin, the article explores how law enforcement agencies can maximize the value of volunteers while effectively managing organizational risk. Dr. Lin is well known within the volunteer policing community, including as an attendee and presenter at the 2018 VLEOA Training Conference in Washington, D.C., where he shared insights on volunteer engagement and public safety partnerships. His latest work reinforces a message long championed by VLEOA: properly trained and managed volunteers provide significant benefits to law enforcement agencies, communities, and public safety missions. As agencies continue to seek innovative ways to expand services and strengthen community connections, Dr. Lin’s research offers timely guidance on building successful, sustainable volunteer programs.
