Hennepin County utilizes special deputies. They are non sworn reserve type positions. It is good experience and can help someone get a sworn position if that is their aim. I know they do water patrol, but it would not surprise me if they did parks and trails stuff also.

Originally posted by sgtnewby View PostHCSO has the Water Patrol (I grew up 1 mile from HCSO Water Patrol HQ), which is staffed by a couple licenced deputies and the rest of the ranks are filled by volunteer reserves, and the also have the Emergency Squad, which is all volunteer aside from a licenced deputy in charge of them. But, HCSO does not have any division called "Special Deputies" that I've ever heard of.
The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office Water Patrol Unit is accepting applications from motivated men and women age 21 and older who want to help keep the peace as volunteer special deputies.
Water Patrol special deputies help patrol and respond to public safety events on Hennepin County’s 48 square miles of water, including 104 lakes and three rivers.
A typical shift may include issuing a speeding citation to a boater or snowmobile operator; responding to a drowning, medical emergency or accident; locating and removing a hazard to navigation from a waterway; or giving a presentation on boat or snowmobile safety to community members.
Sheriff’s Water Patrol special deputies are trainees during their first year of service. Then, after officially being sworn in, they are required to work an eight-hour shift every other Saturday or Sunday and attend monthly, three-hour training sessions.
To be considered for this volunteer position, you must be a U.S. citizen age 21 or older, have a good driving record and be willing to submit to a criminal background check. Applicants also must pass a pre-employment physical, psychological examination and swim test.
Water Patrol applications may be obtained by calling 952-471-1316 or visiting www.waterpatrol.org.
Special Deputies is what they call their volunteers. There are worse ways to spend a summer day then cruising in a boat out on Lake Minnetonka!

Yes, I am not saying that he definitely saw an HCSO special deputy car or deputy but merely that Hennepin County refers to their volunteers as "Special Deputies"
The thing that throws me off is the plates. I would have expected government plates if it was an HCSO vehicle or any other county for that matter.
On a side Hennepin County note, did you guys get your tasers yet?

Considering that government vehicles, by statue, don't even need plates... That's kinda funny.
Also, keep in mind, I don't think the word Deputy is reserved. Sheriff is, by statue, but Deputy is not. So, it could be anyone.Some Kind of Commando Leader

Special Deputy on hwy 169 in mn
Do this on you day off if you see him. Call the State Police and report and sit back and watch . Not saying this guy is fake but afew years ago we had a blue light rapist He pull women over and rape them. It got to point women had to be pulled over by 2 marked units and be on the phone with 911. If it strikes you as odd then something aint right.Last edited by CAPTAIN KOOLAID; 12-10-2007, 10:50 AM.CAPTAIN KOOLAID 9594

I'm guessing it was one of the local funeral escort companies. They drive similar looking cars, but I thought they said protective agent on the door badge.ATTN. SPECOPS AND GECKO45 my secret username is CIDDECEP and I am your S2. My authorization code is Six Wun Quebec Oscar Fife. Your presence here is tactically dangerous and compromises our overall mission parameter. Cease and desist all activity on this board. Our “enemies” are deft at computer hacking and may trace you back to our primary locale. You have forced me to compromise my situation to protect your vulnerable flank. This issue will be addressed later.
