Depends on the volunteers. Typically they are a help. Explorers, Reserver Officers, Senior Patrol, etc. all serve their purpose.

They help fill in for field officers who are either sick or on vacation.
They help reduce department overtime.
They help in jail or court operations.
They fly prisoners from venue to venue in their private planes for court appearances at no charge to their departments.
They supplement firearm instruction activities for officers and deputies.
They volunteer to assist during police academy training activities to enhance the recruit experience.
Overall, they greatly benefit society and their communities with their unselfish contributions.
