The STAR Program was created to support the Sheriff’s Office and the County community. It is made up of senior volunteers who handles everything from fingerprinting booths to public awareness programs. Before assuming their duties, STAR volunteers complete a three-week course includes law enforcement, communications, first aid, drugs, gangs, and traffic control.
These trained volunteers are used to enhance vital crime prevention services. STAR vehicle units conduct high visibility patrols. Other STARs assist the crime prevention unit, conduct business/home security checks, provide traffic control for accidents and special events, and assist the Sheriff’s Office with administrative duties. STARs function as eyes and ears of the Department. Suspicious activity observed is immediately reported to the Sheriff’s Office.
