In March 2014, the Calaveras
Sheriff Volunteer Unit received a $3,000 donation from Mr. Dave Haley, VP &
Division Manager of Castle & Cooke Calaveras Inc., just in time to
celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Volunteer Unit.
Castle & Cooke Calaveras Inc. planned and developed
Saddle Creek Resort, a 830-acre private resort and golf community located in
Copperopolis. This private community
provides custom and estate lots for custom and semi-custom homes with a scenic
18-hole golf course and club house inside the community.
The Calaveras Sheriff Volunteer Unit was established in
1989 with the purpose of assisting the Calaveras Sheriff’s Office in
administrative and other duties, including but limited to patrol school,
residential and commercial areas, vacation house checks, paper service, crowd
and traffic control at public events.
The Volunteer Unit is looking at 2014 as the Year of
Action in its recruitment effort so as to take on additional workload assisting
the Sheriff’s Office and enabling the Sheriff’s deputies to focus on their
primary duty of law enforcement.
Serious-minded Calaveras County citizens, retired or
semi-retired, wishing to help their community and meeting the qualification and
requirement are encouraged to apply by calling the Calaveras County Sheriff’s
Office at (209) 754-5600, or visit sheriff@calaveras.ca.us. Seniors are welcome and no law enforcement
experience is necessary.
