I was reading today about how some counties do a Sheriff's Reserve Unit comprised of volunteers. I found that Cobb county has one, but there's not any real info about it. Anyone here know more about the program and want to give me a run down? Is it comprised of getting coffee/bitch work or are there some cool aspects? http://www.cobbsheriff.org/Reserves.htm

When Sheriff Hutson was in office at Cobb, all you had to do was donate so much $ to his re-election campaign.........that got you a Reserve Deputy badge. Guy I used to work for was his campaign treasurer, so he automatically was a Reserve Deputy.
No idea how it is handled under Sheriff Warren. |

Cherokee County has a Reserve Unit. You have to be POST certified though (you can do this on your own dime), and provide your own GLOCK 22. http://www.cherokeega-sheriff.org/Reserves.html
Due to op sec (social media policy), I can't tell anybody where I work, nor can I confirm that a particular reserve unit is a good group of people to work with. But, having worked with a group of reserve five-oh, I gotta say I appreciate them a bunch! |

A Sheriff can swear in anyone he/she wishes as a deputy; however, one has to be POST certified in order to have arrest powers. Citizens Arrest |

No previous LEO experience. I've had to do the interview calls with the Investigator checking him out. Not sure what he'll actually end up doing as a Reserve, but he's sure going through a TON of red tape to volunteer his time. |
