Auxiliary Team
As a volunteer with the Benton County Sheriff's Office Auxiliary Team, you'll have the opportunity to support the Sheriff's Office in a variety of ways. You might help with a community outreach effort, an administrative project, or anywhere your skills, talent, and interest match up with a Sheriff's Office need.
Auxiliary Team members do not engage in active law enforcement activities. They are not a substitute for fully trained and certified Deputies. Rather, Auxiliary Team members help stretch resources in a supportive role.
Interested in applying? Complete and submit a Benton County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) Volunteer Application form.
