The Lawrence County Sheriff's Auxiliary is a volunteer company organized under the Office of the Sheriff with its officers commissioned by the Sheriff. This document defines and describes the Lawrence County Sheriff's Auxiliary (LCSA), an organization, training program, and resource pool for the county sheriff to call upon and deputize as necessary in an emergency situation. The goal of this program is to achieve the best possible emergency readiness at the least cost under difficult budgetary circumstances while minimizing reliance on outside resources and intervention. The program is an operational test of the concept which will be adjusted as needed and perhaps replicated elsewhere.
