Sheriff's Citizens Patrol
"Volunteering with Pride - Protecting with Honor"
The Forsyth County Sheriff's Citizens Patrol, started in January 2005, is a team
of highly trained volunteers who enhance vital crime prevention services and community
awareness through protective law enforcement principles. They function as additional
eyes and ears of the Sheriff's Office and perform a wide range of functions such
as traffic control, assisting with duties at the courthouse, fingerprinting, serving
subpoenas and many other special assignments. Volunteers serve a minimum of 15 hours
per month.
If you are between the ages of 21 and 100, and feel you might have an interest in
becoming one of the first volunteers in this program, please
view the Application Process, or contact Corporal Charles Sayers at 917-7301.

"Whether you are a sworn law enforcement officer or a civilian, being involved in
public safety is everyone's responsibility. Volunteering your time and energy is
an excellent way to be involved in your community and help your neighbors. Volunteers
in the Sheriff's Citizens Patrol provide a value-added component to the Forsyth
County Sheriff's Office and a level of support in public safety that is recognizable,
cost effective and productive."
