Most (probably all) will require POST before deputizing. But it's worth starting a conversation. Get to know your sheriff and let him get to know you. The vast majority of public interactions the sheriff has are with people who are very pissed at him, so positive interactions will definitely be remembered.
I just heard this this weekend. Who knew... now we do. Patriots need to become Sheriff's.
Go see your Sherrif and become a reserve. Get deputized for your own benefit.
