Reserve
Forces Bureau is the administrative headquarters for the Department's
Reserve and Explorer Programs and is responsible for the Industrial
Relations Detail. With over 700 Reserves and 600 Explorers,
the Sheriff's Department has a wealth of resources that augment
the various units on a daily basis.
Reserve Forces Bureau recruits new candidates, processes their
applications, and conducts various pre-employment tests. Upon
successful completion, the applicant will attend a Reserve Academy,
and when graduated, the reserve will work at an assignment of
their choice. The Reserve Program is also responsible for overseeing
and maintaining training, conducting annual unit inspections,
and the coordination of personnel at various events. The Bureau
consists of four major components: Uniform Reserves, Search
and Rescue, Mounted Posse, and the Reserve Academy.
Explorer
Scouts attend an academy like the Reserves, and are eligible
to work a myriad of assignments offered to them such as fingerprinting,
bicycle licensing, traffic control, and participation in training/recreational
activities.
Both the
Reserve and Explorer Academies have an agreement with various
participating agencies who use the Department's resources
and expertise to train their personnel as well.
The Industrial
Relations Detail maintains liaison between the business and
labor communities. The Detail also trains patrol personnel
in the handling of labor disputes and picket lines.
