Because of the national VIPS Program, the Fairfax County Police Department is able to broaden our base of potential volunteers not only within Northern Virginia but throughout the country by use of the VIPS Website.

Program Description

Our Reserve Deputy Program consists of dedicated men and women who are volunteers, yet fully commissioned law enforcement deputies. They attend a local police academy, and receive the same type of training as a full time deputy. They are required to volunteer for 24 hours per month in the first year, then 12 hours per month after probation is completed. The duties of a Reserve Deputy include patrol, crime scene protection, crowd control, Marine Patrol, SWAT support, and many more duties as desired. The men and women in the Reserves hold a variety of full time jobs, and enjoy helping the community through this program.

Sheriff Garry Lucas states: "It would be impossible for us to fulfill our mission without the significant contributions made by our Reserve Deputies." Inquiries are welcome via our website or at 360-397-2211 Ext. 3380

The sheriff's office also utilizes non-sworn civilian volunteers to staff its Handicapped Parking Enforcement Program and to maintain an Explorer Post. Please contact the department for additional information.
