Volunteer Program & SOLVE

The mission of the Sheriff’s Office League of Volunteer Employees (S.O.L.V.E.) is to assist the Sheriff’s Office with certain duties that promote the health and well being of Yuma County residents.

The Sheriff’s Office volunteer force varies in number depending on the season. Usually, there are 31 extraordinarily dedicated people available to help.  Twenty-seven of these people wear uniforms that clearly identify them as Sheriff’s Office volunteers. They assume responsibilities that might otherwise be assigned to peace officers, for example:

The remainder of the volunteers report for duty at the Sheriff’s Office substations where they answer phones, speak with people who visit the substations on business, and perform administrative tasks as requested.  By assuming many non-law enforcement responsibilities, the volunteers permit the Deputies to respond to urgent calls for service.
