Sheriff’s Team Of Active Retired Seniors

The Sheriff's Team of Active Retired Seniors (STARS) program was formed in 1999.  This group of volunteers was created to provide a means for retired persons to become active in the community through positions in law enforcement.  The STARS program benefits the community by providing services that have been lost over time, and by providing new services that would otherwise be unavailable to the department.

The STARS group is comprised of adult citizens, 50 years of age or greater, who are familiar with Yolo County and interested in volunteering their talents and life experience to serve the public. 

STARS volunteers have assorted tasks, many of which enable deputies and other departmental employees to better perform their duties. Some of the services that the STARS provide include conducting daily home checks as part of the Vacation House Check Program, assisting with traffic control at accidents or emergencies, maintaining the Community Resource / Mobil Command Vehicle and Patrol Vehicle Maintenance program, and other various tasks as needed by the department. 

In the future, the STARS will help in providing extra patrol for school zones, contacting area shut-ins, assisting with Neighborhood Watch Programs, and will continue to be present at various community events and meetings in Yolo County.
