Volunteer with the Scott County Sheriff’s Reserve Unit!
Looking for a hands-on way to serve your community? Our trained Reserve Unit volunteers assist the Sheriff’s Office and other agencies with special events, traffic control, and other support duties.
Considering a career in law enforcement? Volunteering with the Reserve Unit can help you explore that interest and get a firsthand feel for the field while serving in a limited support role. Members gain experience in areas such as radio communications, first aid, and basic law enforcement procedures.
The unit offers Patrol and Mounted opportunities. New recruits complete an application, background investigation, interview process, and a ten-week academy. The academy typically begins in February, with evening classes one day per week.
