Sheriff: The Power to Protect
Movie Trailer

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department offers two types of full-time academies and different levels of Reserve Academies. The first, and most desirable, is the full-time Affiliated Academy (paid position). Once a candidate successfully completes the testing process, background investigation, psychological and medical testing, he/she is given a conditional offer for hire. The candidate will then be hired as an employee with the County of Sacramento and enter the full-time Sheriff's Basic Recruit Academy as a paid trainee. While attending the Sheriff's Basic Recruit Academy, the trainee receives a base line salary and is entitled to full benefits through the County of Sacramento. Upon successfully completing the Academy, the trainee will then be assigned to a Division within the Sheriff's Department as a Deputy Sheriff.

The second type of Academy to be offered by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department is a Non-Affiliated Academy (non-paid position). This Academy offers the same curriculum as an Affiliated Academy, and it too is full-time. However, a Non-Affiliated Academy is one in which a person has not been hired by our Department, or has not yet been sponsored by another agency. The individual is not a County employee and therefore not entitled to a salary or County benefits while attending the Academy. Notwithstanding, while attending the Academy, the candidate is encouraged to complete a Lateral Deputy Sheriff application with our agency. Once an application has been submitted, a background investigation is initiated. If the candidate is successful in completing the Academy, the background process, a psychological and medical examination, the candidate may be hired as a full-time Deputy Sheriff or as an On-Call Deputy Sheriff which is a paid part-time position.

In addition, the Non-Affiliated Academy sponsored by the Sacramento Sheriff's Department meets all prerequisites for an Academy P.O.S.T. certificate. This certificate is recognized by most law enforcement agencies throughout California.
