VOLUNTEER SERVICES

For many years, our citizens have supported our daily operations by volunteering in various areas of the Agency. Our Volunteer Services Division has grown significantly, with new programs added and current programs evolving to meet the needs of our community and the Agency. In 2024, the volunteer division logged over 67,000 hours to contribute to our community.

The Volunteer Services Coordinator oversees approximately 125 volunteers in many different units.

District Volunteers

Our District Volunteers serve as additional eyes and ears for the Sheriff and his deputies. It is not intended to replace routine patrol activities of the Sheriff, but to provide the county with additional observation capabilities to help reduce crime. The volunteers meet quarterly at their respective District Offices, engage in training, and form lasting friendships. The program provides the opportunity for volunteers to take an active role in helping their neighbors and local law enforcement officers keep a watchful eye.

Specialty Units

The specialty unit volunteers are hand-picked to help with projects throughout the Agency on an as-needed basis.

If your intentions are to apply for a specialty unit volunteer position, we ask that you include your most updated resume with your completed application.
