The Plumstead Township Police Department is searching for volunteers to staff our Youth Aid Panel. The Youth Aid Panel serves as an alternative to juvenile court for first-time, non-violent juvenile offenders. The Panel meets one time per month- on the second Wednesday or Thursday- to hear cases. Volunteers act as a team of informal judges who decide how a juvenile offender can repair the harm caused by their delinquent act.

This program has been active in Plumstead for over 30 years. Many of our volunteers have served on the panel for many years. Volunteer openings on the panel are rare. Once you attended the four training classes, only one meeting per month and occasional phone contact with the juveniles is required. This is a rewarding opportunity that is not time consuming! Please review the requirements. If you are interested, please go to the www.bucksyouthaid.org- print and complete the application. Return it to Sgt. Aaron Richwine at Warwick PD (arichwine@warwickpolice.org), by mail, or in person.
