For
over 30 years, the Constable's Office has benefited from
dedicated assistance from an active Reserve Division. The number
of active reserves fluctuates but is usually around 100. These
reserves are trained to the same standards as full time
deputies. These highly trained volunteers work on a non-paid
basis. They are assigned to each of the major divisions; such as
Civil, Warrants, Technical Services, Administrative Records, and
Patrol. Typically each reserve deputy serves at least 4 hours
per week. Many reserve Deputies have been hired as fill time
officers by the Constable's Office. As fully certified peace
officers in the State of Texas, Reserve Deputies have the same
authority and responsibility as full time law enforcement
officers in the state.
Reserve Officers come from a variety of
backgrounds and
vocations which include salespeople, bankers, construction
workers, teachers, firemen, pilots, and many others. A typical
reserve Deputy has a strong desire to be actively involved in
his or her community and to be a part of the law enforcement
profession. Being a Precinct 4 Reserve Deputy requires a
commitment of time and dedication, but offers professional law
enforcement training and practical first hand experience that
are second to none. The men and women of the reserve division
are indeed a select group of outstanding citizens. If you would
