Overview
Mission
The cochise county sheriff assist team supports ccso with non-law-enforcement duties, while assisting with crime deterrence.
What it reported doing in 2025
The cochise county sheriff assist team (sat) is made up of trained citizen volunteers who assist the sheriff's office with non-law-enforcement duties. We are a volunteer force-multiplier combining the experience of our members with the specialized training and expertise of the sheriff's office, helping to release sworn personnel from duties that delay them from direct law enforcement tasks. Members do not take enforcement action or make arrests. Sat volunteers perform the following duties: emergency call outs, neighborhood watch, fingerprinting, crime scene security, jail reception, dui task force assistance, radar trailer placement, special event security, traffic control, vacation house checks, evacuation notifications, lost children searches, witness protection assistance, and community events support. The sheriff assist team also provides funeral escorts for deceased military veterans and law enforcement veterans for the city of sierra vista which does not have the police personnel strength to support these operations.
