A Guthrie County reserve sheriff’s deputy earns a salary of one dollar per year. After the State of Iowa and Uncle Sam take their cut, the reserves are left with a check for ninety three cents. Guthrie County Sheriff Marty Arganbright took time to thank the practically-volunteers during his report to the Guthrie County Board of Supervisors last week, stating that they provide many services to the County, from staffing educational events, to patrolling River Ruckus, and beyond, “We don’t have the personnel to be able to do all of that. So, I rely on my reserves to help with that. The people of the County are good about giving the reserves donations so that they can buy their own equipment, and make their department run well. The Guthrie County Reserve Department is really an asset to Guthrie County Citizens.”

If you’re interested in donating money into the Reserve Department’s fund, you can call the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Department at 747-2214.
