4 Overall Experience   
I've enjoyed serving my community and the camaraderie with others in the program

NYPD Auxiliary Police perform uniformed patrol in the community, we work city-wide details marching in parades and controlling traffic at major events. We wear NYPD uniforms, carry radios, night sticks, and other important equipment. I've personally enjoyed working as a team with other civic-minded individuals who know the importance of aiding in protecting our communities. posted by apofoster on August 6, 2009
