Testimonials

We’re extremely proud of our city’s CAPS Program. There is no finer example of a volunteer program making a positive difference in a community.

CSPD CAPS volunteers are true professionals who have a passion to serve the Colorado Springs community. They provide needed services in multiple operational areas, helping us serve our citizens public safety needs. They are a valued and appreciated part of our CSPD family.

The CAPS volunteer program continues to be a vital part of CSFD’s ongoing mission to enhance public safety and improve the quality of life for all residents.

The CAPS program plays an important role in the PPROEM, serving our community when disasters of all sizes strike and in our efforts to save lives and prevent property damage.

The volunteers who provide service at the Kiosk are a great asset and help improve our community service in the DTA!

As a member of the CAPS Leadership Committee, it is so rewarding to see how far we have come. I could never have imagined our program would have achieved such greatness in this short period of time. Congratulations to the staff and volunteers for making us the unique program we have established.

It is informative, enjoyable and educational to work with Sgt. Wisler and his DART officers. I enjoy most being able to assist the people who ask us for help. Another equally enjoyable aspect is dealing with the good “Samaritans” who turn in items they have found! (wallets, keys, credit cards, urn, vehicle plates etc.) I believe we are able to take some of the load off the DART officers.

I have volunteered many places and I feel more appreciated here than everywhere else combined.

I am so happy that I discovered CAPS and the myriad volunteer opportunities available. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Having retired nearly four years ago from a 43-year career at an aerospace company and two years prior to that at a defense company, I have become energized since I began supporting the Public Affairs Office. I feel I’m making a contribution; it’s a terrific opportunity to use my experience. I appreciate your efforts to help citizens find ways to assist in the community. It takes a great deal of behind-the-scenes effort on your part to make CAPS the successful program it is.

My internship with CSPD has been eye opening and intriguing. It has solidified my desire to go into law enforcement and allowed me to further my understanding of the police community relationship.

Volunteering for the CAPS Program is the most fulfilling volunteer work I’ve ever done! You’d be amazed how much work is done within our city departments by well-trained CAPS volunteers. The staff and other volunteers are super friendly, helpful and very appreciative. I feel like I’ve made a small but important contribution towards supporting our Police and Fire departments which is an awesome feeling! As an added benefit, the CAPS program offers free training classes improving your office skills and so much more.
