My internship shows public service in many ways.. The most obvious would be being a police department. The MPD has one of the most efficent organizations I have seen. The MPD shows public service by not only offering police services but getting involved in the community in any way they can. Mesa has been really successful in their community policing. They hold different events for people to come and meet their officers that are patrolling their community.
One of the biggest ways I believe that MPD shows public service is by having such a big volunteer program. They allow the volunteers to work in many different parts of the police department. I find that this is very benefical because it attracts more volunteers, which leads to more people volunteering their time to give back to the community and is helping the city of Mesa save money. It is very rewarding to be a volunteer and to feel like you are making a difference and being able to give back. When I go to meetings with Tobie people ask who I am and when I say I am apart of the VIPS program they thank me for my time. Amazing right? Everyone knows at the MPD how valuable volunteers are and they appreciate and show appreciation to all the volunteers.
