What is CAP?
The CAP program is made up of a group of citizens who volunteer their time to assist the Cary Police Department in
and around the Town of Cary, freeing sworn officers for other duties. The program offers an opportunity for those
interested in law enforcement to combine their interest with the personal satisfaction of volunteering.
CAP Team members help provide security at public events and assist the Cary Police Department with child safety
seat installation, administrative duties, service center staffing, sobriety checkpoints, traffic control, community watch
programs and many more duties.
Cary's CAP program is one of many programs in North Carolina that are recognized by Volunteers in Police Service,
a national initiative begun in 2002. The national program is part of the USA Freedom Corps, which President Bush
announced the creation of in his 2002 State of the Union Address.

had 31 volunteers. Currently there are over 100 volunteers.
