Community Charity – Ventura County Probation Agency

Tip-A-Cop

In support of the Tip-A-Cop fundraiser, Ventura County Probation Agency (VCPA) employees act as celebrity waiters/waitresses at selected local restaurants. All gratuities earned during their shifts are donated to the Ventura County Special Olympics.

VCPA probation and corrections officers participated in the annual Pride Bowl, a football game that pits personnel of Ventura County law enforcement agencies against other law enforcement agencies from throughout Southern California. Proceeds from ticket sales to this event are donated to various local charities.

VCPA employees man an agency booth at various community events throughout the year. Visitors to the VCPA booth receive information about the many functions of VCPA, as well as the duties its employees perform.

Charity Golf

The “In Support of Friends” golf tournament is an annual fundraiser held by the Ventura County Professional Peace Officers Association. The money raised goes into our charitable funds and is given to those members or agency employees who are experiencing financial hardship. The day-long event begins with a “shotgun” start “Texas Scramble” golf tournament and concludes with a dinner and awards ceremony. Many non-golfers join the evening festivities. All agency employees, their families, and friends are encouraged to participate.
