We're looking for volunteers! WCSO recently formed its first Auxiliary. Any community member interested in serving with us can contact Capt. Shawn Judy at 788-1474 or via email at ShawnJ@WCSO.net.
IMPORTANT: You may deliver your application to us in person at our office or email it to us as an attachment to wcso@wcso.net
The Auxiliary Unit will assist with community policing programs, such as our Senior Check-In Calls, Trunk or Treat and other events WCSO participates in. You do not need any law enforcement experience as this will not be for commissioned officers. If you're interested in getting involved, contact Capt. Judy for more information.
