When Orange County Sheriff Reserves Justin and Thay head off to the carnival area of the Orange County Fair, they keep an eagle eye on any suspicious activity. They are there to help keep the Orange County Fair safe and enjoyable all attendees.
Reserve officers provide a wide variety of services to the community, volunteering their time to work alongside career law enforcement personnel.
The Reserve Division includes both sworn and non-sworn members. Sworn Reserve Deputies are professionally trained and duly sworn law enforcement personnel. In most cases, Reserves are assigned to the same duties as regular deputies. Routine tasks such as patrol, booking, surveillance, investigative, and undercover work are just some examples of reserve duties.
