The Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office is bringing back a program to bolster its numbers without spending a lot of money. Today, the office swore in nine reserve deputies as a way to get more deputies on the street without having to hire more people.

Shayne Wood could hardly stop smiling as Sheriff Jim Winder welcomed him to the force. “Some people see something bad and run; some people are the type they run towards the danger. That’s the kind of people I am I guess,” Wood said.
Wood and eight others have committed to serving 20 hours a week for the county for free. They’ve been through the same training as their paid counterparts and will be asked to do the same things deputies on the payroll do, but they will receive no money for it.
