Deputy Sheriff II (Lateral)

Deputy Sheriff is a peace officer class characterized by a wide variety of duties assigned to different positions. Deputy Sheriff I’s are trained in law enforcement knowledge and skills, may be rotated among posts in the courts, jails, correction facilities, the Coroner’s Bureau, patrol districts and investigation according to Department needs. When serving in different assignments, incumbents are expected to develop and demonstrate craft, technical and clerical skills necessary

to plant maintenance, record keeping, and rehabilitation aspects of department functions; however, these at all times are subordinate to the fundamental law enforcement and custodial nature of the work. Incumbents, as assigned, will

supervise groups of prisoners on work details but ordinarily do not supervise other regular employees of the Department. Upon successful completion of an 18-month probationary period, Deputy Sheriff I level incumbents will be elevated to Deputy Sheriff II, which is the journey level of this flexibly staffed classification.
