What is your all's opinion on reserve deputies? I was thinking of becoming one with HCSO since I live in the county. I was born here, am currently 25, have always had an interest in becoming a LEO but when I graduated High School I went a different route. I am self employed and have a flexible schedule so I've been looking into the reserves. I've read mixed reviews regarding what full-time deputies think about the reserves. (Undermining actual paid deputies by volunteering, preventing new paid deputies from being hired on, etc).

Any input would be appreciated.
