Description
It is in the mutual interest of the Weld County Sheriff's Office and citizens of Weld County to have a volunteer group. Citizens who volunteer at the Weld County Sheriff's Office are instrumental in improving the quality of life in their community. Volunteers work as a team with the Sheriff's Office to provide a host of neighborhood services.
As a volunteer, you help the Sheriff's office decentralize law enforcement and take it out into the community where it is most needed. By giving your time to the Sheriff's office, you also ease the burden on deputies working in the field, allowing them to devote more time to fighting serious crime issues. By working together to identify problems and by forming partnerships based upon common goals and complementary strategies, law enforcement officials and community members can deal more effectively and efficiently with crime than they could by working separately.
There are really no specific qualifications to become a Volunteer with the Weld County Sheriff's Office. But, you should have:
- Good moral standards and a desire to take an active role in improving the quality of life in your community
- A valid Colorado driver's license and a good driving record (depending upon the specific duties assigned)
If you meet the qualifications and are enthusiastic about volunteering your time, no other skills are required, but we do need specific skills in some situations. Training is offered to members of the Posse for some of the specific skills needed.
You work as much as you can. Even a little bit of your time is greatly appreciated. We have minimum requirements for participation; members must attend one monthly briefing per quarter, participate in four events per year, and participate in six contraband searches (shakedowns) in the jail per year.
There are many ways to get involved with the Volunteer Program:
- Volunteer
As a Volunteer, you are not POST Certified, but still perform many duties.
- Reserve Deputy
A Reserve Officer is Colorado State POST Certified with more opportunities to perform patrol or other duties that require a Peace Officer Certification. You must receive an Appointment once you are accepted as a Reserve Officer.
- Mounted Unit
You do not need to be POST Certified to be a member of the mounted unit. It is recommended that you own or have access to a horse, but it is not required.
- Bike Patrol
You do not need to be POST Certified to be a member of the bike patrol. Some specialized training is required for bike patrol duty; the necessary training is provided by the Posse.
