What Is The STARS Program?

The STARS program is a volunteer program, in which active adult citizens give of their time, knowledge, and life experiences. The Sheriff's Department now accepts volunteers from any age group from 22 years and older.

STARS Objectives:

  • To organize senior citizens in a volunteer program to benefit the community.
  • Use volunteers to promote a better community safety.
  • Become "eyes and ears" for law enforcement.
  • Promote the STARS motto: "As volunteers we can make a difference by improving the community welfare and safety."

To Be In The STARS Program You Must:

  • Be at least 22 years of age.
  • Be able to commit up to 10 hours of volunteer time each month.
  • Pass a limited background investigation.
  • Have a desire to make this a better community in which to live.
The STARS volunteers, working hand in hand with the Sheriff's Department, will be able to provide a variety of new services and enhance current programs for the betterment of the community.
"Our STARS program is thriving. This group of dedicated adult citizens continually support our mission to keep the community safe. Their contributions to our Department and all the citizens of Stanislaus County are truly commendable."
