On July 18, 2014 five members of the Seal Beach Police Department, Volunteers in Police Services program were honored at a luncheon hosted by the “RSVP/OneOC” organization.

Seal Beach Police Volunteers Ramzi Mansour, Vonnie Shulten, Sophia Salaya and Laurel Mauk each received Lifetime Achievement Awards for providing over 10 years of service and over 4,000 volunteer hours to the City of Seal Beach.

Volunteer Steve Enos was recognized for contributing 1,568 hours of service in 2013.

This was the second-highest total of volunteer hours for an individual in Orange County. The SBPD Volunteer in Police Services program provides an invaluable service to the community and the Police Department.  VIPS work within the Police Department in various positions as uniformed volunteers and are trained to perform such duties as routine patrols throughout the city and assisting law enforcement in administrative functions.

SBPD VIPS provide thousands of volunteer hours every year supporting the Police Department and the City of Seal Beach.

RSVP, formerly the Retired Senior Volunteer Program, is a free members-only program, with more than 400,000 volunteers nationwide.
