THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT IS HIRING!

Thank you for your interest in the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. We are hiring and you can apply online now! Please click on the below links to view the job descriptions, minimum requirements, and to submit your application online.

Deputy Sheriff Cadet Detentions/Court Services - 11579710DCS
Deputy Sheriff Cadet - 11574710LE

If you qualify (you meet the minimum requirements for both), we encourage you to apply for both Cadet positions. If you apply for both register for ONE exam only!

YOU CAN NOW REGISTER YOURSELF FOR AN EXAM! After submitting your application online, County of San Diego Department of Human Resources (DHR) will review your application to make sure you meet the minimum qualifications (generally this can take up to 6 weeks). Upon meeting the minimum qualifications, you will receive an email inviting you to register for the written exam. That notice will have the instructions on how to register for the exam. If you have not heard from DHR after 6 weeks from when you submitted your application, please contact DHR at (619) 236-2191 for the status.

ENTRY-LEVEL LAW ENFORCEMENT EXAM

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.
