The Sheriff's Department welcomed community members and civic leaders to the grand opening of the Sheriff's Department's first ever recruitment center. Facing attrition challenges, the department brainstormed and came up with the idea of a recruitment center to fill vacancies of not only safety members, but professional staff members as well.
Annually, the department hires 250 law enforcement officers and 250 professional staff members, ranging from office assistants to medical staff and many more.
A five year funding model was presented to the Board of Supervisors, which allowed the department to establish a recruitment team made up of both professional and safety staff, who actively market opportunities within our department at several public events and job fairs.
The primary function is to help give resources to people wanting jobs in the Sheriff's Department. The recruitment center will be open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM. It will also be open on some evenings and weekends. Appointments can be made as needed.
