The Travis County Sheriff's Office (TCSO) Reserve Unit is a group of volunteer deputies and corrections officers who provide a variety of duties for the Sheriff's Office at great savings to the taxpayers of Travis County. The primary function of the Reserve Unit deputies is to supplement uniformed patrol for full-time deputies who are on leave due to sickness, vacation, or military leave. The Reserve Unit is also activated when additional deputies are needed due to man-made or natural disasters, such as severe weather events, wildfires and Homeland Security concerns. The primary function of the Reserve Unit corrections officers is to supplement full-time corrections officers in all aspects of corrections. These include working at the Travis County Jail or at the Travis County Correctional Complex. After certification, Reserve corrections officers can perform transportation duties, hospital duty and other more advanced assignments. Members of the Sheriff's Reserve Unit are sworn deputies and/or corrections officers who are committed to volunteer 16 hours per month on average. In addition, members must complete 20-40 hours of state and Sheriff's Office-required mandatory training per year. Members must also qualify with their firearms per Sheriff's Office policy to maintain proficiency.
