JACKSON, Tenn. – The Madison County Sheriff’s Office is accepting applications for
part-time reserve deputies.

reserve deputies are certified law enforcement officers. As deputies they
carry a gun, make arrests, serve warrants, work special events and patrol
with full-time deputies.

uniform and equipment as their full-time deputies.  Reserves are required
to purchase their own firearm.

Candidates must be at least 21 years old pass a background check and a
physical. Reserve deputies complete more than 80 hours of POST-certified
law enforcement training.
