Join Pasco Sheriff's Office Community Response Unit

The response and recovery process following a natural disaster requires a variety of skills and resources. Qualified individuals can partner alongside Pasco Sheriff’s Office by volunteering on PSO’s Community Response Unit (CRU). In line with PSO’s motto of “We Fight as One,” CRU volunteers rise to the call by sharing their talents when our community needs them most.

CRU establishes, prepares and maintains initial disaster readiness and response to our community year-round. CRU individuals and businesses provide relief and support following catastrophic events, such as hurricanes. Sharing time, talents or resources as a CRU volunteer during an urgent need makes a positive impact in the community.
