Reserves
Faulkner County Reserve Deputy Program
Faulkner County is proud to have one of the most active, professional, and impactful Reserve Deputy programs in the state. Composed of highly trained and certified individuals, our Reserve Unit is made up of successful businessmen and community leaders who volunteer their time, skills, finances, and personal resources to support the mission of the Faulkner County Sheriff's Office and serve our community with honor.
Led by Reserve Commander Brian Tyner, and the board members, our unit donates over 10,000 hours of service annually, saving the county more than $1 million each year in labor and operational costs.

• Patrol (independent or alongside full-time deputies)
• Sex offender compliance checks
• Prisoner transports and extraditions
• Public event security and crowd control
• Training and tactical support
• Specialized operations
