**The Reserve Program is not accepting applications at this time. 

The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office Reserve Program has been an integral part of the organization since the early 1960’s, when two independent patrols combined into one unit.  Over the past three decades, the Reserve Program has had participation of about fifty personnel from various backgrounds and careers.  The program has seen many changes over those years.  What was once a program used primarily for augmenting patrol staffing has now become a program involved with many different facets of the Sheriff’s Office.  Personnel participate in many functions, including patrol, investigations, training and exercises, special events, search and rescue, aviation, and marine services.  

Reserve Program membership is open to anyone 21 years of age or older.  Candidates are required to successfully pass an initial background check, polygraph and psychological examinations, physical agility exam, and a drug screening.  Candidates must also successfully complete the Washington State Basic Reserve Academy and a Field Training Officer (FTO) Program.  All costs incurred during the process are the responsibility of the candidate.  Successful candidates are required to meet minimum standards for monthly hours of service.  They are also required to successfully qualify with a firearm and maintain that proficiency.
