Hey, does anyone here have any connections with the Sac. County Sheriff's office? Or any other law enforcement ageny for that matter? I'm going in to take a written exam next week (with the Sac. County Sheriff's Office), and was wondering if anyone had any tips?

start taking criminology and jujitsu/judo courses at a JC, then enroll

Well, i'm enrolled in sierra right now, but the dept. will help pay if i can get on as a deputy trainee, so, yeah. BTW Wraith, you gonna be at the game tomorrow?

It takes 6months to whenever for your paperwork to actually be processed, proved, and for you to start work. One of the officers at my company just now got into Sac County, and he applied in late 2005. Keep in mind he also had full POST and an AA.

and look into Placer County Sherrifs, i KNOW they are hiring, they are building a new jail off of 65.

Thanks ferguson, really appreciate it, i guess i need to get on that post stuff.

well if i remeber you WILL have your POST all done when u are done with the academy. Police officer standards training is kinda manditory for being a cop

Ding im pretty sure you are taking the standard post entry test...Sheriff Dept. Trainee, correct? You will take that test and get a "T" score and a percentage. If you pass the written and score high enough you will be invited to the the physical and turn in a PHS (personal history statement). In conjunction with the PHS they will send letters to the references you listed. Then you will do a voice stress analyzer (lie detector) and a short interview. If everything goes well there your info will be sent to the lieutenant for hiring and he will say ok/no. If you get pass him then your app will be sent to the sheriff for approval...To be offered a position you will need to score a minimum of a 48 (easy, I scored a 63 of 71 @ 90%)
