Police Reserves

The Deadwood Police Department Reserve program is an important asset to the Department. The Deadwood Police Department uses State of South Dakota certified Reserve Officers for specified tasks and duties that create efficiencies for the department and improve service to the community. They may assist patrol staff in the day-to-day operations of their patrol duties. The Reserve Officers also supplement the Department's staffing during Deadwood's many special events. The Reserve Officers with the Deadwood Police Department are sworn members of the Department who have the same authority and arrest powers as the other sworn members of the Department. To learn more about the Deadwood Police Department's Reserve Officer program, contact Lieutenant Erik Jandt at 605-578-2623.
