Make a difference in someone's life.

When you go to work on Monday, and someone asks, "What did you do this weekend?", wouldn't it be great to say, "I saved a life"? There is little that is more satisfying than making a difference in someone's life and there is no better way to do this than by becoming a Water Patrol  Special Deputy. 

If you are over 21 years old, can swim 100 yards, and can pass a background check then you have the basic qualifications to become a Special Deputy.

You do not need to be seeking a career in law enforcement. You can be a salesperson, a shift worker or  a professional. You can be a boat-owner or landlubber. All we ask is for your desire to volunteer and make a difference.

Point of Interest:  More than half of the Water Patrol Special Deputies are over 40 years of age.  About ten started their training at the age of 50 or more.
