Volunteer Opportunities with Sheriff’s Office
Volunteers in Policing (VIPs) – Volunteers In Policing (VIPs) are adult citizen volunteers from Sonoma County who assist the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office with duties not specifically defined as law enforcement activities.

VIPs serve at the pleasure of the Sheriff and are not covered by the Civil Service System.
