What does it take to become "deputized" by the county Sherriff?
 

I don't want any money.. I just want to be able to carry anywhere I want to.. And bypass the "ccw".. plus, if I'm heated I would do my best to protect everyone, anyway.. so I'd pretty much be qualified or as much as some of them around here seem to be.

depends on the state, you can walk into a police station in Washington State and gwalk out with ccw, you can do the same in idaho and it's good in 5 different states I believe. In california, not so easy

Get a CCW to begin and the volunteer with the PD. In most cases volunteers can't carry on duty.

Want to carry and stop crime? Become a cop.

dont know! dont ask me

The willingness to taze old people :)

All I want to do is become deputized... can't be THAT difficult

Call sheriff Joe, he is always recruiting ;)

Don't need to deputized in AZ to carry a weapon....

give him a dozen crispy creams

Mostly police can only deputize you in the case of an emergency and it is only temporary, but it may vary depending on the state. What you might be looking more towards is being a reserve police office. To do this you have to apply and then go through an interview process. If you are accepted there is usually a minimum amount of time you have to put in each month, but it is often pretty small like 5-10 hours. That time can be doing ride alongs with the officers or if they have an event you might work traffic or security that kind of stuff.

You will have to go to the reserve academy to learn some basic law enforcement stuff, but reserves carry their guns and can carry off duty as well (at least in my state that might not be the same in all states).
