Altadena's California Highway Patrol commander S.R. Strull says the local office is looking for senior volunteers.
CHP's Senior Volunteer Program is looking for seniors who want to be part of "the largest internationally accredited law enforcement agency whose mission is to provide safety, service, and security to the citizens of California."
In a release, Strull says that "Our volunteers have also enhanced traffic safety and service in the surrounding communities by performing tasks that support the goals of the CHP. Currently, the statewide program boasts more than 740 volunteers who contributed in excess of 150,000 volunteer hours in 2011.
"As the Altadena Area commander, I would personally like to invite seniors, age 55 or older, to be a part of our Senior Volunteer Program. This is a unique volunteer program that allows participants to share their life’s experiences, while making a solid contribution to the community in which they live. Those interested in applying are asked to contact Officer Kevin Denmon at (626) 296-8100."
