Do You Have What It Takes To Become A Member Of West Vancouver Police S.W.A.T.?

West Vancouver Police are combining the forces of our youth volunteers into one powerful community group.

For Fall 2008, West Vancouver Police are unifying youth volunteers under a new name, the West Vancouver Police Student Work and Advisory Team.   Yes, S.W.A.T! 

The Student Work and Advisory Team will be built from our current force of Student Work Experience Team and Youth Police Advisory Committee members. 

West Vancouver Police are very proud of all our student volunteers, and we will call on our current members to lead the way in building SWAT.   We are also looking for new student volunteers.  If you are a registered grade 8 to grade 12 student of a West Vancouver public or private school this fall and are looking for an important and fun volunteer commitment, we want to hear from you.

The primary goal for all SWAT members is simple, to have fun!

As a SWAT member, you will help us coordinate fun and interactive events involving West Vancouver Police and the youth of our community, like the annual West Vancouver Police Ambleside Family Carnival.

The carnival is heading for the Fifth Annual in Spring 2009.   The success of the carnival in helping to raise funds for West Vancouver Youth Programs has grown every year.  

However, you may have an even better idea for an event or activity that can help promote greater understanding between West Vancouver Youth  and Police and to build a stronger ongoing relationship between Police and Youth.

We also ask our youth volunteers to help us with important programs to promote crime prevention and community outreach initiatives.  You will help us deliver important information to businesses and the community.

SWAT will also call upon the experience and mentorship skills of our long serving youth volunteers with the Student Work Experience Team and Youth Police Advisory Committee

The West Vancouver Police Student Work and Advisory Team is also an important forum for youth to advise Police on issues faced by young people in West Vancouver.   We will look to members of the Student Work and Advisory Team to hold regular meetings in all West Vancouver Schools to bring the voice of youth in West Vancouver to the Police Department.

Applications for the Student Work and Advisory Team will be available in September at your school and at the West Vancouver Police Department.
