Volunteers in Police Service

Volunteers in Police Service (www.policevolunteers.org) is a national program to incorporate members of the community who have an interest in working with their police officials in various capacities. We are always looking for persons who would like to volunteer their time to help us with various aspects of policing. If you think you might have an interest in working as a volunteer with the Northfield Police Department please call us during normal business hours or contact us by email. One of our staff members will provide you with the necessary application forms and information that will help you through the process.

Explorers and Reserves

Explorers are young adults age 15 through 21 who share an interest in law enforcement. For more information on the Explorer program, click here.

Northfield Reserve Officers are adult members of our community who volunteer their time to supplement the duties of our regular police officers. Click here for more information about Northfield Reserve Officers.

Both the Explorers and Reserve Officers save the taxpayers of Northfield the dollars that would otherwise have to be spent on overtime or other officer assistance during key events in our community. We appreciate the efforts both our explorers and reserve officers provide to our community.
