The Lee County Sheriff’s Office is supported in its day-to-day operations by a very dedicated group of individuals that comprise the Reserve Deputy Division. Currently we have 17 individuals that donate their time and effort in assisting the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. This unit is made up of a wide variety of individuals, including college students, business owners, retirees, and many others. The Reserve Deputy Division falls under the command of Captain Bill McGuire who oversees the day-to-day operations of the unit and works with a reserve commander picked from within the ranks of the reserves.
Reserves are responsible for working many details falling under the jurisdiction of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. Without these dedicated men and women, it would not be possible to cover the many requests we receive to provide security. They also provide an invaluable service to the Patrol Division by supplying additional personnel in the patrol cars. Reserve deputies are encouraged to ride with the deputies as often as possible, thereby adding additional personnel which greatly enhances our patrol capabilities.
We are not currently accepting applications for reserve deputy.
When openings are available, we encourage anyone interested in volunteering to apply. The physical requirements are the same for reserve deputies as they are for patrol deputies, and many of our current employees started off as reserve deputies before deciding to become full-time deputies.
