This is the 2010 nomination of Pasadena, California's Volunteer Investigation Services program for the Community Partnership Award. City Manager Michael J. Beck is credited with aiding in the development of this program which has sought to work together with detective personnel, private and government organizations, along with crime victims, and their families to enhance police services and to fulfill unmet needs. Since November 2008, volunteers have donated over 1,300 hours of services and investigated and closed more than 840 missing persons  cases that date back to 2001. In total, this has saved the Pasadena Police Department $28,032.
