Without our Citizen Volunteers the Mariposa County Sheriff's Department would not be what it is today. We at the Sheriff's Department and in the Community take our hat's off to these fine dedicated Volunteers that are making a difference in their community. S.C.O.P.E. (Sheriff's Community Organized Policing Effort)
(Search & Rescue)
These dedicated volunteers donate their time as Deputy Sheriff's. Each has put in multiple hours of training both with the Department and local College to become a Reserve Deputy. While working these Reserves have full Peace Officer powers. The Reserve Deputies help provide needed support for the Law Enforcement branch of the Department. They assist in normal patrol duties and are always available for any needed support that Patrol might need. If you would like to become a Reserve Deputy please contact Captain Joel Bibby at (209) 966-3615. |

The
S.C.O.P.E. program is comprised of adult volunteers who assist with the
many administrative duties and non-enforcement related patrol functions.
Members perform vacation house checks, present crime prevention programs
and conduct high visibility patrols. These local citizens work with
uniformed patrol officers to enhance the community awareness of positive
law enforcement. If you would like to become a S.C.O.P.E. member please
contact Captain Byron Robles or any SCOPE Member at (209) 966-3615. 
The
Sheriff's Posse currently has over 25 dedicated members. After undergoing
extensive training both the volunteers and their mounts are on call to
assist in search and rescue Operations, crowd control and any other
assignment where the situation can best be handled by a horse and rider.
Furnishing their own horses and equipment, the Posse is probably most
visible when they are representing the Sheriff's Department as a mounted
unit in the many parades and fairs in the area. If you would like to
become a Posse member please contact Captain Joel Bibby or
Coordinator/Deputy Tim Rumfelt at (209)
966-3615.
Ready
to assist in any emergency, under various types of conditions, the Search
and Rescue Team is a highly trained group of volunteers. Because the
county is diverse in terrain, members have the skills and knowledge to
rescue persons in the white water of the local rivers, off the cliffs and
mountains and in the back country of several National Forests. Parts
of the Search and Rescue Team are also trained in Dive Rescue and Cliff
Rescue. Many of the situations encountered by Search and Rescue require
personnel to have a strong emergency, medical and technical background.
Search and Rescue members respond quickly to emergencies, epitomizing the
meaning of team work. If you would like to become a member of this highly
specialized team please contact Captain Joel Bibby or
Coordinator/Deputy Tim Rumfelt at (209)
966-3615 or
