Who We Are and What We Do!
The DeKalb County Sheriff's Reserve Unit is composed of citizen volunteers, who are sworn
to serve as a professional auxiliary to the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office. The Reserve Unit, is organized into two sub-units:
- Certified Reserve Deputies, who are trained to P.O.S.T. Law Enforcement certification standards, serve principally
as partner officers in the Field and Court Division.
- Jail Reserve Officers, are trained specifically to assist in the operation of the county jail.
Reserve applicants must meet the same criteria for appointment as full-time employees, and must undergo the
same rigorous selection process. Reserve officers are expected to contribute a minimum of 16 hours each month to the operations
of the Sheriff's Department. Processing for new Reserve Officers occurs on an open basis; for further information, please
