Auxiliary deputies supplement full-time sheriff’s deputies by volunteering their services to the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office in a non-enforcement capacity. Those interested in becoming part of the program will have the opportunity to serve as a chaplain; and assist with traffic control, road closures during major weather events, funeral escorts, community programs, events by nonprofit organizations, and perform many different administrative tasks within the sheriff’s office.

Those who apply must attend a nine-week training course on Mondays and Thursdays, 6 to 9 p.m. at Sheriff’s Safety Town located at 8910 Jewella Avenue in Shreveport from March 20 through May 18, 2023.
