The Rockingham County Sheriff's Office has established the Auxiliary
Deputy Sheriff Unit to support the sheriff's office in both
operational and administrative functions. With the assistance of
the Auxiliary Deputy Sheriff Unit, the sheriff's office will be able
to maximize the availability of its regular deputies to the
community. The Auxiliary Deputy Sheriff Unit will be comprised of
non-paid volunteer citizens from the City of Harrisonburg and
