28+ Years of Duty With No Paycheck---Final Sign Off
I have known this guy since he was just out of diapers. Baby sat him for a few years and later became room mates. Boy does time fly! Just figured I would share his self made video. Next time you deal with a law man, keep in mind that not all of them get paid for the job they do. You might want to thank them when you have the opportunity.

I have a good friend who was a reserve deputy until his health forced him to give it up. As a child his father was a regular deputy and was killed in the line of duty. He has some very moving stories he will share from time to time.
I think it take a special kind of person to want to be a reserve deputy. No pay and they have to furnish their own equipment. My thoughts and thanks go out to your friend and all those that so selflessly serve.

Wow.
I can feel myself tearing up watching that.
Great guy, what dedication.
Unfortunately, in my area, reserve deputies/officer programs are NOTHING like that.

With much respect for your service sir. I retired in 1997 after 30 years and just walked out the back door after turning in my weapon & credentials. The luncheon happened later, but that abrupt ending was very strange for me.

Outstanding service sir. I was blessed to serve for 40 years, 5 with the county, 35 with the city. Retired in 2019, had a ball.
You are to be commended my brother. Well done indeed.

Kudos to the subject of the original post for 28 years of volunteer service. Is there a LEOSA potential there?
I was an auxilliary officer for 20 years with expenses including certification (NRA and state) and periodic update training as LE firearms instructor. Couldn't get out as often as I wanted, due to crushing day job. Several changes of chiefs. Gave it up due to injuries. Last day, I handed in my badge and ID and walked; bought myself lunch.

My last LEO job was with a small county SO. I retired almost eight years ago. We had some real good reserves with a lot of experience. Had we not had them it would have been hard to answer all of our calls, especially on weekends. They handled most of the special events so we didn't have to pull deputies off the road. One of them even gave the ultimate sacrifice. His son later became a full time officer. He recently retired. I think the main reason someone wants to be a reserve is they love law enforcement and helping people but can't afford the full time pay so they keep their day job and work for us for free when they can. "You get what you pay for" doesn't apply here.

I have an M&P with a 1905 born on date that was carried by a reserve deputy in the '40s and '50s here in Oregon. I wonder what stories it could tell.
Congrats and respect to the subject of the OP. Enjoy your retirement.

We had some excellent reserve officers on our department; one died line of duty (Mike Mills, EOW 1969). I believe that LEOSA can cover long time reserve/auxiliary officers if the agency provides them with retired credentials, and they do the yearly qualifications.

Well done for 28 1/2 years.
We have an excellent reserve deputy program in our county. Probably the only people less appreciated that full time LEO's these days are reserve LEO's.

I have 25 years this June with the LASD. Most of that time was unpaid but in the past few years due to hiring shortages, I have been able to get paid working in the courts as either. Bailiff or lock up deputy. I also really enjoy working with the new “kids”. Many of the young court deps not patrolled trained yet so I feel like Bumper Morgan around them.

I was a reserve Deputy for 8 eight years. However, I got married a few years into it and with a wife and kids coming it got to be a problem so I had to quit. I did work as a courtroom clerk in my regular job for quite a while so I did see a lot of stuff.
