Hire an Off-Duty Deputy
Off-Duty Volusia Sheriff’s Deputies are available for hire for special events upon request from any citizen or business seeking to meet a permit requirement or address a public safety concern. The primary intent of Extra-Duty assignments is to provide a supplementary service to the community by assigning off-duty, uniformed deputies to work security or traffic-related details, and civil standbys. The business or citizen requesting this extra detail is required to pay for the deputy's service at a rate established by the Volusia Sheriff’s Office.
No Extra-Duty job will be authorized or accepted if a request places any restrictions on who may work the job based on race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or otherwise provided by law.
All Extra-Duty requests are screened by the Volusia Sheriff’s Office Extra-Duty Employment Coordinator and approved by the Volusia Sheriff's Command Staff.
