Due to the extremely high number of recent applicants, the recruitment for the Deputy Sheriff Cadet and Deputy Sheriff Cadet Detentions/Court Services classifications will be temporarily suspended from March 10, 2012 to June 1, 2012.

During the course of the suspension, we will not be accepting applications for either classification to allow sufficient time for the San Diego Sheriff’s Personnel Division to process the large back log of applications. Once the recruitment re-opens on June 1, 2012, we will once again be accepting applications for both classifications and the recruitment will remain open until further notice.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and ask that you remain patient with the process. Please feel free to search this website for answers to your questions regarding the employment opportunities with our department and the steps of the hiring process.

Per California P.O.S.T, you may not take the entry-level law enforcement exam twice in one month period (within 30-days). If you do, the second exam you take will not be counted. Unfortunately, at this time the San Diego Sheriff's Department does not accept T-scores from other agencies either. If you are unsure about a test you took with another agency you either need to contact that department or California P.O.S.T.

If you have any questions regarding this issue, please contact California P.O.S.T at (916) 227-3909 or via e-mail at postmaster@post.ca.gov.
