of the Ohio Medical Reserve Corps, and, where possible, through
rigid documentation, medical professionals who are not
pre-certified, residents or fellows, medical and nursing
students, aids, medical or nursing assistants, respiratory,

Volunteers in Police Service
VIPS
Since September 11, 2001, the demands on state and local law
enforcement have increased dramatically. As a result, already
limited resources are being stretched further at a time when our
country needs every available officer out on the beat. Some
local police departments are turning to civilian volunteers to
supplement their sworn force. Both Loveland and Miami Township
have active annual Citizen Police Academy classes.
