SBSO RESERVE DIVISION DEPUTIES TO CONDUCT EXTRA PATROLS DURING HOLIDAYS
In an effort to keep St. Bernard Parish residents safe this Christmas, Sheriff James Pohlmann said members of the St. Bernard Sheriff’s Office Reserve Division will conduct extra patrols during the holiday season around local shopping centers beginning Friday, Nov. 28.
“Our Reserve Division plays an important role in supplementing our police force in specific situations, including working during large scale events such as festivals, parades and athletic events throughout the parish,” the Sheriff said. “They also assist us with extra patrols during the busy holiday shopping season.”
Lt. Chris Scheeler, supervisor of the Reserve Division, said there are currently about two dozen Reserve Division deputies who are unpaid, volunteer officers.
The department always welcomes new applicants, but they must complete Peace Officers Standards and Training to qualify.
In addition to being P.O.S.T. certified, Lt. Scheeler said, a person must meet the following criteria:
⭐Be at least 21 years old
⭐Have earned a high school diploma or GED
⭐Have a clean police record; background checks will be conducted
