Volunteer
Organizations
Are a
part of the Sheriff's Office and are not
merely a club that just volunteers. Each volunteer is issued an
Identification Card that identifies them as a member of a Monterey
County Sheriff's Office SEAT volunteer group.
Participation as a volunteer is a great way to contribute to
the
community, learn new skills and assist during natural disasters or
community functions.

Info on Volunteer Programs
The Sheriff's Office is supported by five
distinct volunteer organizations. These groups are comprised of
citizens who volunteer their time to become trained in whichever
discipline they select. The volunteers then participate in those
activities as necessary and when available. The volunteer organizations
maintained by the Sheriff are: Reserve Deputy Program, Search and
Rescue Team, Mounted Posse, Emergency Management Volunteers and Aero
squad.
All volunteers must pass criminal background
and personal reference checks to qualify. Once accepted, the volunteer
must complete the training required and then regularly participate in
the groups activities. Generally 10 to 12 hours per month is required
as a minimum time commitment.
MCPA
SEAT members are entitled to join the Monterey
County Peace Officers
Association because of our affilation with MCSO. You do not need to be a
member to attend this fine BBQ you can attend as a guest of SEAT members
already members of MCPOA.

Reserve Deputies
Reserve deputy volunteers must complete the same
background and testing criteria that is required of anyone applying for
a paid Deputy Sheriff position. Reserve Deputies assist and perform the
same duties as a Deputy. Many people enter a Reserve program to gain
experience to become a full time paid law enforcement officer.
New Reserves must complete a basic POST Academy
presented through many Community Colleges. They then ride with regular
Deputies and participate in all calls and activities. Additional and
on-going training is provided. Reserve Deputies are called upon to
provide traffic control functions, assist with large public events or
during disasters.
