All with the goal of community aid and involvement

Lt. Brian Triplett, Tazewell Co. Sheriff’s Office, “It’s a chance for them to come out and help with flood relief or looking for missing children and even events, so people can get familiar with the sheriff’s office and what we do.”

Those in the program will in no way be deputized or have arresting powers.
