Los Angeles Sheriff - West Hollywood Station

West Hollywood Sheriff's Station has a very active Deputy Sheriff Reserve Program. Numerous members of our community serve as Reserves on their evenings and weekends. With full peace officer powers while on duty, they help to supplement our full time Deputies in the areas of patrol, Sunset Blvd traffic enforcement, special events, warrant service details, and special operations. Reserves play a vital role in West Hollywood and help to keep our city a safe place to live, work, shop and play!

What Is A Reserve Deputy Sheriff?

Reserve Deputy Sheriff's enjoy the challenge and excitement offered by law enforcement, as well as the satisfaction of providing a worthwhile community service.

Reserve Deputy Sheriff's first complete the extensive state mandated training and then work assignments on evenings and/or weekends as their regular jobs permit.

Reserve Deputy Sheriff's are issued a badge, an identification card, uniforms, a Beretta 92FS duty weapon, and most other necessary equipment.

Reserve Deputy Sheriff's have full peace officer powers when on duty, and if issued a Special State permit, may choose to carry a concealed weapon when off duty.

Reserve Deputy Sheriff's volunteer 20 hours per month of their time with the regular compensation being one dollar per year.

Reserve Deputy Sheriff's may also qualify for shooting bonus pay of up to $32.00 per month, and some paid special event assignments are occasionally available.

Reserve Deputy Sheriff's serve at the will of the Sheriff, must obey all Department regulations, but do not fall into the framework of the civil service system.

Reserve Deputy Sheriff's supplement the regular operations of the Sheriff's Department by working in their choice of Uniform Reserve (Patrol), Mounted Posse, Search and Rescue or as a Specialist.
