Beck and Foster are reserve deputy sheriffs
The newest reserve officers for the Oconee Sheriff’s Office are Lewis Beck and Stacy Foster. In a reserve capacity, a deputy is required to work 20 hours a month and attend a training session. Before they can go out on their own, reserve deputies must accrue 240 hours of seat time with a regular deputy. Reserve deputies have the same authority as a sworn deputy, however they are unpaid. If you are a resident of Oconee County and interested in becoming a reserve, contact Jeff Underwood at the sheriff’s office.
