Reserve Program


The mission of the Reserve is to provide additional manpower in special situations and to augment the Patrol division in the performance of law enforcement services in Jackson County. This could be as a call out of the entire Reserve component in the case of a hurricane, civil disorder, any natural catastrophe or to assist in controlling such civic events as parades. The Reserve deputies ride with regular deputies or patrol alone to assist in law enforcement duties through out the year. They not only increase the sheriff's manpower but also free regular deputies for more critical assignments. The reserves are an excellent way for you to serve your community and make a difference in the safety and well being of the citizens of Jackson County.

Minimum qualifications for Reserve applicants include:

  • State of Florida Law Enforcement Certification
  • At least 19 years of age.
