The mission of the New York City Police Department is to enhance the quality of life in New York City by working in partnership with the community to enforce the law, preserve peace, protect the people, reduce fear, and maintain order.
The Community Cares Program, established by the New York City Police Department (NYPD), is designed to facilitate volunteerism and civic engagement among New Yorkers. Through this program, individuals can connect with volunteer opportunities offered by the NYPD within their borough or precinct. Activities include graffiti cleanup, beautification projects, community meeting participation, and joining the NYPD auxiliary or explorers program. By encouraging community members to actively contribute their time and skills, the Community Cares Program aims to foster a stronger relationship between the NYPD and the community, while collectively working towards improving the quality of life in New York City.
Step Forward, Volunteer Your Time, Be the Change!
