FCSP

The Flathead County Sheriff’s Posse

The Flathead County Sheriff’s Posse was established in 1946 and serves the community under command structure of the Flathead County Sheriff. We serve the public by providing supplemental auxiliary law enforcement services in a way that both develops and inspires community service. Our members include Auxiliary Officers, Reserve Deputies and non-uniformed volunteers.

We very much look forward to meeting you, if you are interested in serving as a volunteer in law enforcement. 

We are not funded by county tax dollars. We fund equipment and training through a mix of donations and self-pay, providing over 10,000 hours of service, unpaid, in 2023.

ABOUT US

Who Are We?

The Flathead County Sheriff’s Office is a volunteer force that supports full-time law enforcement across Flathead County.  We are made up of regular individuals with normal day jobs who want to protect and give back to their communities.

We handle numerous types of events, incidents, and supplemental law enforcement duties.  Perhaps you’ve seen us patrolling the community before (if you have, tag us on Facebook and Instagram)!

Programs

No matter where you are in your life circumstances, level of interest, ability to commit, or knowledge and skills, FCSP has a place for you!

The Explorer Post is affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America and housed under the Flathead County Sheriff’s Posse’s Non-Profit.

The Auxiliary Officer Program produces the majority of FCSP’s volunteer force.  After receiving training

The Mounted Consists of both Auxiliary Officers and Reserve Deputies.  Members who possess equine resources may pursue joining this unit

This program trains auxiliary members to become a Reserve Deputy in Flathead County where they serve alongside full-time deputies in fulfilling their law enforcement duties.  Must be 18 or older.

These are the people who keep FCSP running smoothly with all the behind-the-scenes tasks of fundraising, event coordination, building maintenance, and more!  No required age qualification.  We are so grateful to our non-uniformed volunteers and all the vital work they do, to make this organization so strong
