Reserve Deputy Program

In 2008, the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office received funding from the County Council to start a Reserve Deputy Program. Reserve Deputies will be trained to assist full-time deputies with special events, emergencies and the day-to-day delivery of law enforcement services within Salt Lake County. Reserve Deputy Sheriff’s are citizen volunteers who have a strong desire to serve their community and to help make a difference. This program will help to reduce the costs associated with providing law enforcement services to our communities and neighborhoods. Reserve Deputies will receive training in all areas of law enforcement and will be required to complete an extensive field training program prior to being deployed with full-time deputies.
