The Orange County Sheriff’s Department Community Services Division is one of the most exciting and innovative law enforcement reserve forces in the nation. Reserve officers provide a wide variety of services to the community, volunteering their time to work alongside career law enforcement personnel.
The Community Services 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.
The Professional Services Responder (PSR) Program supplements traditional Reserve programs with non-sworn volunteers. PSRs provide administrative and leadership support in the areas of emerging technologies, communications, industrial relations, graphic arts, healthcare, dignitary protection, firearm safety instruction, legal and accounting services, international protocol, governmental relations, and emergency response resources.
CSD Reservists are individuals who want to contribute to the safety and well being of their community, as well as those who desire to work in law enforcement prior to seeking full-time law enforcement careers.
