The California Highway Patrol is seeking volunteers in North County for its Senior Volunteer Program.
The program, which is open to San Diego residents over the age of 55, supports the Highway Patrol in an auxiliary role.
The volunteers assist with traffic control, public relations, DUI checkpoints and administrative and office assistance, as well as other duties. It gives seniors a chance to contribute to the community, freeing up officers to deal with more urgent matters.
Applicants must be in good health, able to stand for extended periods of time, willing to adhere to CHP standards and able to pass a background check.
Applications can be picked up at the CHP Area Office at 435 La Tortuga Drive in Vista.
