POSTED ON 10/26/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/22/2027

This position is located in Custer, SD. Relocation or commute required.

The Custer County Sheriff’s Office is currently accepting applications for Volunteer Reserve Deputy Sheriffs as the department prepares for a new Reserve Academy. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals who want to serve their community, become involved in law enforcement, or explore a future career in law enforcement.

Reserve Deputies typically work alongside full-time deputies and assist with special events. Reserve Deputies who have completed the appropriate training may also perform limited patrol duties. While performing their assigned duties, Reserve Deputies have the same authority as full-time Deputies.

The Reserve Program can be a valuable pathway for individuals interested in pursuing a full-time law enforcement career, but it is also ideal for those with established careers who want to remain involved in law enforcement and make a positive difference in their community.

This is a volunteer, non-paid position. Reserve Deputies must complete a 120-hour Reserve Deputy Certification Course before being sworn in as a Reserve Deputy.

Requirements:

  • At least 21 years of age
  • High school diploma or GED
  • Valid driver’s license upon application
  • Insurable driving history
  • Successful completion of a comprehensive background investigation
  • No prior felony convictions or simple assault, domestic violence convictions
  • Successful completion of the 120-hour Reserve Deputy Certification Course before being sworn in

Application Information:

The application period is open until filled.

Applicants must complete both a Custer County application and a South Dakota Law Enforcement Training application.
