Looking for a way to give back?

Have you found yourself looking for a rewarding way to give back to our community? Consider becoming a Victim Assistance Volunteer with the Castle Rock Police Department’s Victims Assistance Unit. The unit is currently looking for volunteers and you could be the perfect fit.

We are not accepting applications at this time.
