The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office is actively recruiting community-minded individuals to join the newly established Sheriff’s Posse.
The Sheriff’s Posse is a citizen-based volunteer program which allows residents to engage in law enforcement-related duties which do not require a sworn deputy.
El Paso County continues to grow in population; therefore, the need for dedicated volunteers to assist with essential public safety services also continues to grow. The Sheriff’s Posse will play a vital role in helping deputies respond to the increasing demands of law enforcement.
Volunteers will receive specialized training through the Posse Academy, scheduled for April 15th – May 3rd, 2025, preparing them to assist with various duties, including:
- Accident and traffic control
- Crime scene security
- Crowd and traffic management for special events
- Directed patrol, crime prevention, and alarm response
- Parking complaints and vehicle impounds
- Animal complaints and lost/found property reports
- Motorist assists
- Assisting the Communications Center, Sheriff’s Office front desk, Courthouse, or other county buildings
- And many more opportunities
To recognize the dedication of those who join in its inaugural year, all first-year Sheriff’s Posse members will wear a special commemorative patch.
Applications must be submitted by March 24th, 2025, at https://www.epcsheriffsoffice.com/employment-opportunities.
