Spokane C.O.P.S. foremost program is the Front
Desk. Equipped with a telephone, radio scanner, computer, the Internet,
e-mail, databases and resource booklets, the average volunteer has all manner of
resources to assist members of the community with their concerns. Whether
it's an abandoned vehicle, lost and found, barking dogs, or nuisance issues, our
volunteers feel confident they can help. The
Spokane Police Department
and the Department of Corrections greatly appreciate
the volunteers who take calls from citizens and readily admit that they rely
heavily on the work performed by C.O.P.S. volunteers.
Business conducted at
the Front Desk includes fielding phone and walk-in traffic, filling out
communication forms, statistics book, daily diary, filling out phone
messages, data entry, on-line resourcing, email, possible assistance to
assigned Neighborhood Resource Officer and/or Dept. of Corrections
Officers. If you call or walk in with a problem or question, the volunteers
will provide the proper resource or will research the situation and call
complainant back.
