Advance planning requested
Security/Traffic Details
Organizations and event planners may request off-duty DeKalb County Sheriff's Office deputies for event security, traffic direction, parking, or pedestrian assistance.
Request an off-duty detail
Off-duty details may be appropriate for festivals, sporting events, concerts, private gatherings, business functions, construction projects, and other activities that benefit from a professional security or traffic presence.
The information you provide helps the Sheriff's Office understand the event, identify potential staffing and traffic needs, and follow up about availability, planning, and cost.
Benefits of requesting a full-time deputy
When working an approved off-duty detail, a full-time deputy provides current law-enforcement experience and local knowledge while remaining accountable to Sheriff's Office policies and professional standards.
Crowd and access support
Deputies can support an event plan by providing a visible presence, helping manage access points, and addressing safety concerns within the approved assignment.
Traffic and pedestrian coordination
For approved details, deputies can help coordinate vehicle and pedestrian movement around entrances, exits, parking areas, and affected roadways.
Direct emergency communication
Deputies understand local emergency procedures and can communicate directly with public-safety partners if an incident requires additional resources.
