A Lake County Auxiliary Deputy is a volunteer member of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office Auxiliary Deputy Unit who has completed the approved training required for the unit at the time of appointment, along with any additional training that may be required while serving. These volunteers play an important role in supporting the Sheriff’s Office by providing additional manpower and resources during emergencies and community events.

The Auxiliary Deputy Unit is on-call 24 hours a day and can be activated whenever additional emergency resources are needed. Members assist during a wide range of situations including flash floods, traffic accidents, evidence searches, crowd control operations, and missing persons cases. Their presence allows full-time deputies to focus on critical law enforcement duties while still ensuring that public safety needs are met during large-scale incidents or emergencies.
