During World War II the Sheriff's Department enrolled and trained a large
number of persons in an organization know as "Auxiliary Deputy Sheriffs." They
were part of the Civilian Defense program, and these non-deputized volunteers
served well and faithfully throughout the war. Following the end of the war, by
1950, an ordinance was passed deputizing these men into the Sheriff's Emergency
Reserve. Auxiliary Deputies wore only a cap piece and no badge.

These three pieces were found on a
large sign at Wayside Honor Rancho
years ago. The original mounting was
old and decrepit. I remounted them on
a wooden plaque I use for the Sheriff's
Relief retirement plaques.
They are made out of solid brass and
look very nice.
