The Reserve Program

Serving the residents of East Baton Rouge Parish for nearly forty years, the Sheriff's Office Reserve Division, has become one of the finest of its kind in the state, if not the country. Comprised of individuals from all professions and all walks of life, this group contributes tens of thousands of hours each year to promote the safety and security of the residents of the parish.

Our Reserve Deputies are part time, non-salaried, fully-commissioned law enforcement officers. Reserve Deputies have the same responsibilities, the same duties, and receive the same level of training and, most importantly, they have the same authority as their regularly employed counterparts. Opportunities exist within the Reserve organization for individuals to serve in all areas of law enforcement.

A number of our former Reserve Deputies have gone on to positions of leadership in the law enforcement community-- both in the Sheriff's Office and other agencies within the state. If you want to be part of this tradition, then this is the opportunity for you to truly make a difference in your community.
