The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office is accepting online applications from people who want to volunteer as special deputies.

Volunteers are needed in the water patrol unit, the mounted patrol, and the emergency squad unit.

The volunteers will receive extensive training. Many special deputies have full-time jobs and spend evenings and weekends volunteering. Some volunteers do it so they can see if they want to pursue a career in law enforcement.

Besides working regular shifts, special deputy volunteers also help out during community events and emergencies. Many volunteers worked during the Republican National Convention and the 35W bridge collapse.

Interested applicants must be at least 21 years old and pass a background check.

Applications can be found online at www.hennepinsheriff.org.
