The Cranbrook RCMP is looking for volunteers to join the recently re-launched auxiliary program.
The program allows members to support law enforcement efforts under the direct supervision and accompaniment of a uniformed police officer.
Tasks include scene security, check stops and searching people as directed by an officer.
The program was suspended nationwide in 2016 pending a review and has been brought back under a new tiered system, and relaunched on April 3.
The different tiers require different levels of training and hours per year.
A full breakdown of the tiers can be found below.

The Cranbrook detachment is holding its information session on April 10 at the Manual Training Centre starting at 6:30 p.m.
Former auxiliary members are encouraged to reapply and new volunteers are invited to learn more about the program.
