The El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office Reserve
Deputy Sheriff Program continued their
dedication and commitment serving the citizens
of El Dorado County this year by volunteering
over 700 hours of service. The Program consisted of a number of volunteer Reserve Deputies who
assisted the office and the community by
providing additional training and patrols of
neighborhoods and businesses. Reserve
Deputies are required to maintain the same
ongoing training standards as regular Deputy
Sheriffs and we are continually looking to
expand our program to improve our service to
the community.
This year, the office recognized Deputy Kyle
Langowski by voting him volunteer of the year at
the Sheriff’s Annual Awards Ceremony. Kyle
previously completed the POST academy
required to serve our community with
aspirations of becoming a Level I Reserve. This
county greatly benefits from the steadfast
commitment offered by not only Kyle, but by all
of the selfless volunteers working together to
build a better community.
This year, Reserve Deputies served more than 700 volunteer hours

The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office is
dedicated to serving the youth within the
community. El Dorado County has 15 individual
school districts, 67 public schools and
approximately 27,000 students. The Sheriff's
Office serves 13 of the school districts and 57
schools with the School Resource Officer (SRO)
program. There are currently two full-time
deputies and one sergeant assigned to the SRO
program. This year Deputy Russ Adams was
welcomed as the newest SRO. Deputy Adams
brings with him years of dedicated service to the
Sheriff’s Office and experience with various
youth programs.
The SROs primary duties include responding to
calls for service at the schools, criminal
investigations, safety presentations and security
at school events. SROs attend monthly meetings
and hearings pertaining to attendance,
expulsion hearings and trends within the
schools. In addition, SROs participate in
programs which emphasize community
relations and school safety. Such programs
include National Night Out, Red Ribbon Week,
Every Fifteen Minutes and Project LEAD. These
programs promote a positive relationship with
law enforcement.
The SRO program is an important component of
the Sheriff’s Office. Often times a student’s first
contact with law enforcement is with an SRO.
The deputies and sergeant of this program strive
to have a positive impact on the youth in the
community. Their safety and education remain
top priority.
