The VIPS (Volunteers in Police Service) Program was begun in 2003 with five volunteers.  As of January 2008, there are 22 active volunteers who have become an invaluable and indispensable resource and asset.  VIPS have backgrounds in such varied fields as real estate, the medical field, telemetry, electrical contracting and engineering, machinist, budget and finance, computer technology and education.

Did you know that that Post Falls Police Department has a tool to assist in the identification and location of children and adults with mental and physical disabilities who wander away from their homes or care facilities?

The Y.A.N.A. program is designed to provide daily phone contact to individuals with limited family or community contacts. The Program is a service to senior citizens of Post Falls and provides telephone welfare checks for those persons living alone that would benefit from having someone check on them on a regular basis.  The program is designed to provide a measure of security and well being for our seniors, handicapped or homebound individuals who are living alone.
