Get Involved

There are several opportunities for members of the community to get involved with the Sheriff's Office. We are always working to implement new programs and ideas. If you are interested, please feel free to call our office at 765-747-7885 for more details on any of the projects listed below.

Delaware County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue Volunteer Program - Contact Cpl. Rick Richman. This is a group of citizens willing to volunteer their time and assets during a time of search and rescue such as a lost child. Citizens offer their time and energy along with equipment such as ATV 4-wheelers; horses, even helicopters to aid in a search.

Project LifeSaver - Contact Deputy Bill Polk 747-7885
We are very happy to announce that through generous donations, we have recently purchased our first five tracking systems. This project will help families outfit their loved ones suffering from ailments such as Autism or Alzheimer's disease with a wrist watch style tracking device that would allow rescue workers to quickly locate the individual should they wander off or get lost. Now that we have the transmitter, the cost per device is approximately $200.00. This monitoring is done by the developing company. No money is paid to the Sheriff's Office for their participation in this program. We are happy to be able to outfit a few families but would like to expand this program to the many other Delaware County citizens in need of this service. We are looking for sponsors to purchase additional units. If you would like to sponsor someone in this program, please contact Deputy Polk.

TRIAD - Contact Deputy Bill Polk.
This is a local chapter of a national program which focuses on educating and safeguarding senior citizens about topics such as personal safety or fraud schemes directed towards seniors. For members and meetings information, contact Bill Polk through the Sheriff's Office at 765-747-7885.
