| Reserve
Deputy Program |
| Under the leadership
of Chief Deputy
and Patrol Sergeant
, the reserve section is a volunteer organization of licensed
peace officers under the Texas
Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) who by day work
in their respective careers. In their off-hours, they
volunteer their time and knowledge, providing the Nolan
County Sheriff's Office with additional law enforcement
resources to better serve the citizens of Nolan County.
Deputies in this section can work independently or with
a partner, depending on their designation, experience,
and training. Prior to being released for individual patrol,
each deputy is required to successfully complete a mandatory
probationary training program. Deputies with significant
law enforcement experience are afforded an opportunity
to complete an accelerated program.
These deputies have peace officer powers while on duty,
in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and
have the same powers of arrest as regular full-time
deputies.
All reserve candidates are required by law to meet
the same hiring standards and comply with the same general
orders and training requirements as full-time deputies.
All NCSO Deputies (full-time & reserve) are required
to comply with certain continuing education requirements
and attend training as directed by the Sheriff and supervisory
staff.
The Nolan County Sheriff's Office provides uniforms
and leather gear for reserve deputies assigned to uniform
services.
