Upon graduation from the academy, deputies are fully accredited peace officers under California law (POST certified).

Applicants must be at least 20 years old, a high school or GED graduate, a permanent resident who can obtain U.S. citizenship within 3 years of appointment, have one year of college or work experience, and possess a valid driver's license.

Applicants who have successfully completed a CA POST academy within the last 6 months may have the written and physical agility exam waived.
Applicants who have taken a CA POST entry written exam within the last year from an accredited academy or agency with a score of 46 or higher may have the written exam waived.

As an equal opportunity employer, we especially encourage women, minorities and bilingual candidates to apply.
