volunteers served 228 hours working with client records and maintaining these
records at the current level. These services free up regular employee's time
so they could concentrate their time on tracing criminal activity and making
the communities more secure. The RSVP volunteers service saves the department
approximately $2,500 annually. 5 RSVP volunteers served 31 hours as senior
advocates. With these advocate services, seniors may be more aware of scams,
