The Waco Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association would like to invite you to participate in the annual 5K & 10K Police Memorial Run on Saturday, May 20

Waco, TX – According to the WPD officials, the Victim Services unit relies heavily on its volunteers.

Officials also said that these volunteers are those that go out into the community when a crisis hits, comforting those who have fallen victim or are experiencing distress and may need some assistance or someone to lean on.

You’ll not only be helping those in Waco but the entire county.

If you have a passion to help people apply today to become a Victim Services Volunteer.

Applications are due August 25th.

You can apply here.
