The police rangers program involves young people between the ages of 12 and 18 working with adult volunteers and the police to:

• develop qualities of leadership and adventure
• recognise individual interests and abilities
• learn about individual rights and responsibilities
• learn about policing, law and the judicial system
• understand the demands placed on police officers, and their duties and responsibilities
• learn about making the community safer.

Police Rangers participate in many community promotional and adventure activities, for example:

• fetes, family fun and gala days
• police expo, station open days and police displays
• community days and various festivals
• Neighbourhood Watch displays and shopping centre displays.
