Sheriff Dept press release re: five new members sworn into volunteer unit



Calaveras Sheriff Gary Kuntz swore-in five new members of the Sheriff’s Volunteer Unit during the January meeting.  The swearing-in of the new volunteers confirms their responsibility to work closely with the Sheriff’s Office and the mission of upholding the law in Calaveras County.

            The new volunteers Lyle Brat, Louis Chiu, Kathleen Gonzalez, Gale Slot and Peggy Stout will assist the Calaveras Sheriff’s Office in a wide range of activities including, but not limited to, helping staff the Sheriff substations, patrol residential areas, businesses, schools, parks, and crowd/traffic control at community events.  In addition, the volunteers perform clerical and other assistance to the various departments of the Sheriff’s Office.




            The addition of five new volunteers will help strengthen the number of volunteers in the unit; however, additional volunteers are always needed.

            Serious-minded Calaveras County citizens, retired or semi-retired, wishing to help their community and meeting the qualification and requirement are encouraged to apply by calling the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office at (209) 754-5600, or visit sheriff@calaveras.ca.us.  Seniors are welcome and no law enforcement experience is necessary.
