| Sheriff's Office Auxiliary Program | ||
The Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office Auxiliary Program was started in 1981 and consists of an all volunteer group of sworn deputies who have successfully completed mandatory background investigations. Among other notes of excellence, the Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office Auxiliary Program was awarded the 1999 volunteer Agency of the Year by Volunteer Hampton Roads. Auxiliary Deputies are required to volunteer a minimum of twenty hours each month. Combined, they donate 10 thousand hours, annually, assisting the full-time staff at the Correctional Center and they perform volunteer services for numerous civic organizations.

Applications for the position of auxiliary deputy can be obtained at the Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office Personnel Division. The office is located at: Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office Personnel Division 2501 James Madison Blvd Virginia Beach, VA 23456An auxiliary deputy is required to make a six month commitment to the office. The application process takes several months. Although there's no guarantee of a paid position upon completion of an auxiliary post, we attempt to make the transition to a paid position as easy as possible. It's an opportunity to continue a law enforcement career and training. It's also an excellent chance for those who will be taking their first step into the law enforcement field. Auxiliary deputies wear the same uniform and the qualifications as a sworn, full-time staff member and have the same authority as a full time deputy. One advantage of being an auxiliary deputy is the greater range of job assignments. The Auxiliary Coordinator, Deputy Kevin Sanders, can be reached at 757-385-6968
