Reserve Deputy
Sheriffs are utilized to supplement the Los Angeles County
Sheriff’s Department law enforcement manpower. Like
full-time Deputies, Reserve Deputies are professionally
trained free of charge and duly sworn peace officers. In
most cases, Reserves are assigned to the same duties as
full-time Deputies. Since Reserve Deputies have the same
powers of arrest as full-time Deputies, they are required
by law to meet the same hiring, background, medical and
psychological standards as full time Deputies.
Lakewood Station’s
reserve company is part of the Sheriff’s uniform reserve
force. Uniformed Reserves perform general law enforcement
duties, including responding to calls, traffic control and
collision investigation, crime investigation, crime prevention,
disaster response and participation in local and county-wide
civic events. After initial training, Reserve Deputies volunteer
a minimum of 16 hours of law enforcement duty each month,
attend a monthly meeting and participate in civic events.
Hours are flexible.
For those who
are able to meet the rigorous training and initial time
commitments, the program offers a unique, meaningful and
personally fulfilling community service opportunity. As
a first step towards your goal, I would like to invite you
to one of our Reserve Recruitment Nights. Knowledgeable
Reserve Deputies will be on hand to help you learn more
about the program, or you may start the application process
by taking the written examination. For your convenience,
