Reserve Deputy

[Snowman78]

Hello All,

Well after over a 6 month academy I am now a Reserve Deputy Sheriff with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.

http://jeffco.us/sheriff/careers/reserve-program/

I had to go thru all the same testing to get hired, written tests, physical agility test, oral board, polygraph, psychological evaluation(s), drug screen and medical examination.


I attended a combined Reserve Training Academy with Douglas County.
The academy was held at the Highland Ranch Public Safety Training Institute.
We went every Tuesday & Thursday night from 1800 to 2200, and every other Saturday from 0800 to 1700 from May till last night!
We are Colorado P.O.S.T certified and received the same full skills training as a full time Deputy (Firearms, Driving and A.C.T - arrest, control and transport).

My very pregnant wife is pining on my badge.

Congrats, that's great! Can you talk more about your motivation for joining, paid vs volunteer, and what your duties will be going forward?

Well I guess the biggest reason to join is to make a difference, I truly want to help people and give back, I want my kids to look at me as a positive role model.


As to why I volunteer, at this time my family and I cannot take the pay cut required to work full time as a L.E.O. It also would be hard for me to have to work nights, holiday and weekends right now. We have 3 kids with # 4 due in December. I may go full time in the future, time will tell.


I really am unsure what my duties will be going forward, I just graduated last night and have to wait for my Colorado P.O.S.T PID number before I can work in uniform here are some things they told us:
Assignments include:
• Patrol and law enforcement duties
• Neighborhood speed trailer deployment
• Prisoner/fugitive extraditions
• Crime-prevention presentations
• Bicycle and mounted-patrol duties
• Search and rescue
• Crime scene security
• Detention and civil operations
