The benefits of a good citizen are being able to produce a stable community; Volunteers in the public
services are needed to be good citizens in order to do their job with the set guidelines and firm, fair
and friendly. They make up a high percentage of the police force and are a vital part in the public
services, A volunteer in the police must be a good citizen as they are working and dealing with public
on an everyday basis for example meeting members of the public that are drunk or disorderly and
need to be calmed down and sent home it is the volunteers job to use his good citizen skills to
ensure this happens. A volunteer in the ambulance service needs to have good citizen skills to
ensure because they meet and have to look after injured members of public or even family members
of the injured. They need good citizen skills to be able to calm down and communicate with those
people and have empathy towards the injured. For example if a person is a volunteer in the public
service would help them into the ambulance and help calm the family members of the injured.
A volunteer in the public service has good citizenship skills as they are devoting time they have on
members of the public and helping the community, but whilst they are doing this they are not being
paid in any way. They are also gaining life skills and experience at the same time, this is important for
them if they want to join a public service as this gives you a better chance of being chosen in the
selection process.

public services. As a volunteer you must challenge injustice for example if you see someone doing a
criminal act or bullying another member of public it is your responsibility to step in or inform
someone of these actions.
