The Ambassador Program consists of volunteers trained to provide foot patrol services in the downtown Hayward area. An Ambassador usually volunteers about 2 hours per week. Ambassadors receive special training and any needed equipment from the Police Department, and are recognizable by their green Ambassador jackets.
Their services include:
- Providing information and assistance to businesses, residents and visitors in downtown Hayward
- Assisting members of the public in finding places in the downtown and surrounding areas
- Reporting illegal or suspicious activities to the police.
