In this episode, we explore the growing role of civilians in supporting law enforcement and enhancing public safety. From community volunteers and citizen patrol groups to non-sworn Community Service Officers, we take a closer look at how everyday people are stepping up to assist departments across the country.

Hear from law enforcement professionals and civilian contributors as they share how these partnerships are helping agencies build trust, improve efficiency, and foster stronger community connections. Whether it's traffic control, administrative support, or neighborhood outreach, civilians are playing an increasingly vital role in modern policing.
