Hello Team VIPS!
It is time for our annual Veteran's Day Parade! Every year we look forward to honoring and celebrating our Veterans through our community parade. This year is no different. We want to ensure a fun and safe event for all. We are asking our Volunteers to assist our Traffic Unit with roadblocks along the parade route. VIPS will staff an assigned intersection along the parade route with your VIPS vehicle. Details about assigned location will be given at briefing (in the PD briefing room). Uniform for the day is your Class D (Black Polo/khaki Pant). This volunteer opportunity will last until 2pm.
Traffic Control-
- Arrive to the PD in your VIPS Uniform for briefing and parade assignment ( briefing is at 0830).
- Retrieve VIPS Radios and vehicle keys from grey VIPS locker (*new location*- in the office with no unit name badge on the door, to the right of the old cabinet location.)
- Attend Briefing and get your parade assignment/location.
- Report to assigned location along the parade route with VIPS vehicle.
- Use your assigned VIPS vehicle as a roadblock on Texas St or residential side streets.
- Reroute community traffic to alternate streets during parade hours.
- Listen on the radio for traffic “breakdown” instructions once the parade is over.
- Return to the PD and place radio and vehicle keys in the VIPS cabinet.
* You may be partnered with CSO or Officer *VIPS vehicles are parked in Prune #2. See attached image.
