Do You Fit The Bill?
Are you interested in joining an organization that is rewarding through helping others?
Are you interested in law enforcement?
We look for individuals that are civic minded, positive, and driven to make the City of Fairview Park a better place.

Upon completion of the Basic Auxiliary Police Academy, new Auxiliary Officers must ride with another Auxiliary Officer with at least two years of experience for at least eight hours. New officers must complete 40 hours with another Auxiliary and 40 hours with a Regular Officer before they will be permitted on solo patrol.
