Marshfield Police Department
Auxiliary
History
The Marshfield Police Auxiliary was originally formed in the mid 1970s as
a group of citizen volunteers known as the Tri-County 19er CB Group. The
purpose was to provide patrol for events such as Halloween. Communication
was provided between members using CB radios and between members and the
Police Department through a CB base radio at the Police Station.
The authority to organize as the Marshfield Police Auxiliary was granted
by the Marshfield Police and Fire Commission in November of 1977.
Purpose
The purpose of the Police Auxiliary is to assist the Police Department in
the enforcement of law and order during any and all emergencies declared to
exist within the City by the Chief of Police. In addition, the Auxiliary
will assist the Police Department with traffic and parking, parades, civic
and athletic functions, weather watches, patrol, lost persons and such
matters as may be deemed necessary by the Chief of Police.
