Reserve Officer Training

Reserve Deputies are required to attend any and all training that is set forth by the Sheriff’s Office and that is required for you to perform your duties. Failure to attend and successfully pass any required training may impact your status as a Reserve Deputy for the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office.

All Reserve Deputies after completing the basic academy will be required to attend a 2 hour reserve meeting/training that will be offered twice a month.  They must also participate in one patrol shift or perform 10hrs of service per month to maintain their active Reserve Deputy status.  This will be scheduled and coordinated with the Reserve  Squad Leader who in turns coordinates it with the shift Sergeant.
