The volunteers at the Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Station saved the City more than $650,000 last year. They’re dedicated and that’s why there were recently honored at a Booster Club luncheon in Stevenson Ranch. These volunteers tirelessly and selflessly gave their time, day in and day out, all year long to help the residents of the Santa Clarita Valley.
Station volunteers include sheriff explorers, patrol reserves, posse members, search and rescue and station clerical staff, just to name a few. Some of the volunteers individually dedicated more than 1,100 hours of their own time throughout the year, many times performing the same functions as full-time paid personnel. What is truly remarkable is that many of the volunteers have full time jobs or have already completed entire careers in other fields. The group of 189 volunteers recognized dedicated more than 35,000 hours of volunteer service.
“They deserve our recognition and appreciation every day, but this event offers us the opportunity to formally express our gratitude,” said Sheriff’s Station Captain La Berge, “All station personnel are encouraged to take a moment and give the volunteers a big, ‘Thank You’ when they see them.”
