Patrol | Reserves | Court Security | School Resource The reserve deputies are unpaid and in true service to the community, not only by the giving of their time but also their varied fields of expertise. Patrol is the largest and most frequently called upon duty of the reserves. These deputies work with the patrol division in carrying out the everyday duties of the department. This provides two-deputy patrol units to more safely handle details. Duties often include traffic law enforcement, warrant service, calls for service, and working special public events. All members with arrest powers are required to complete the Law Enforcement Academy and meet Alabama Peace Officers Standards and Training (APOST) requirements. They also must attend all in-service training given to the regular deputies. Monthly meetings are held and there are minimum hours required to work. The program clearly requires quite a commitment. They are truly an integral part of the organization.
