Volunteer Deputies
This program is based strictly upon volunteerism, and the only associated cost is that of issuing each officer his or her basic equipment. These experienced men and women volunteer their time to work on major events such as parades, sporting events, and other functions requiring a large law enforcement presence, thus allowing full time officers to continue their regular duties, while saving the taxpayers of Hall County all salary expenses. In addition, much of the Marine Patrol activities on Lake Lanier are handled by these reserve deputies.
These officers have performed duties in various divisions of the Sheriff's office and have saved the taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars in salaries and overtime, and the experience that they bring to the department is invaluable.
