The Clay County Sheriff’s Office Reserve is a paid part-time unit formed for the purpose of supporting the Sheriff's Office operational and administrative efforts. A Reserve deputy's primary duties are to assist in crowd control during public events, to respond during specified disasters and to provide back up services at all levels. Reserve deputies must conform to all CCSO general orders and policies set forth by the Sheriff.

What will I do as an Reserve Deputy? First, you must either be basic law enforcement certified or Reserve certified. After our agency has confirmed that you meet this criteria, you will then be eligible to apply for a position. Reserve deputies do many of the same functions as full-time deputies....direct traffic, provide security at school functions, operate PWC's (jet ski's), boats, ATV's for search and rescue, ride a beat with other deputies, and much more. You will become a team member working side by side with the staff of the Clay County Sheriff's Office. You will become a valuable asset to our community keeping Clay County a safe place in which to live and work.
