Polk County Sheriff's Office Invites Applications for Reserve Deputy Sheriff

The Polk County Sheriff's Office Reserve Unit is seeking applicants who would like to become part of the tradition of law enforcement professionals. Sheriff Bob Wolfe has said, he is looking for deputies who have a strong commitment to serving the community as part-time law enforcement officers.

Reserve deputies volunteer their time to assist Sheriff's Office employees with road patrol, corrections, marine patrol, crime prevention, and special events. Polk County Sheriff reserves have a strong interest in serving the community as part-time peace officers.

Many reserves have launched their full-time law enforcement careers starting as a reserve deputy, then being hired by the Polk County Sheriff's Office or other criminal justice agencies.

Applicants must be 21 years of age before October 2007 posse an HS diploma or GED, and have a valid drivers license.  The hiring process consists of a written exam, physical ability test, oral board, background investigation, physical and psychological assessments, and pre-employment drug screening. Successful applicants will attend two, evening, weekday classes and a number of weekend classes while attending the reserve academy at Chemeketa Community College.  The academy training is from November through May.

Please check the County's webpage: www.co.polk.or.us  for current information and closing date.

Pride, Commitment, and Service to Others
