In March 2014, during the
Irish Day Parade in Murphys where thousands of visitors attended the
traditional festival, the Calaveras Sheriff Volunteer Unit participated in this
public event by providing patrol, crowd and traffic control. Under the supervision of Volunteer Captain
Betty Miner, Sgt. Vic Farina and Sgt. Bob Fienberg, the Volunteers assisted in
various activities making this festival a safe and enjoyable event for the
public.
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.
