After several years in dormancy, the Escalon Police Department’s volunteer program has been revived. Newly trained and uniformed volunteers were on the job for their first official assignment this past weekend, assisting at the city’s Park Fete celebration in a number of capacities, including traffic control and providing assistance as needed to officers. Police Chief Mike Borges said former senior volunteer patrol members John and Dee Mostowski, along with department Sgt. Gustavo Flores, were instrumental in getting the revised volunteer program back up and running.
