| Emergency Reserve Coast Patrol |
In February 1950 an ordinance was passed providing badges and cap-pieces for the
"Sheriff's Emergency Reserve".
Duties pertained to local disaster control and assisting the Sheriff's Department in
handling local functions of civic benefit in the unincorporated areas which were
served by the Sheriff's Stations.
They were called out on fires, floods, earthquakes and rescue work. Their duties
were restricted compared to the regular reserve deputies.
The Emergency Reserves were known in the Department as the "tan" reserves, by
the uniform they wore. They merged into the "green" or regular reserves in July,
1961.
