Training Bureau

Orientation of New Employees

In 1990, the Sheriff implemented a full time Training Unit. The goals of the Training Unit were to develop a training program with relevant training methodologies to stimulate interest on the part of all personnel. The training materials include video and audiotapes, lectures and scenarios (hands on). These materials bring to light the practical and ethical problems that officers may face on a day-to-day basis.

Liability issues today encourage comprehensive documentation of all officers training qualifications and performance.

The Training Unit schedules training and maintains all records pertaining to:

  • In-Service Training for all certified positions
  • Collision Avoidance Training
  • Bloodborne/Airborne Pathogens Policy and Training
  • Domestic Violence/Juvenile Sex Offender Training
  • Firearm Qualifications
  • Defensive Tactics Training
  • Legal Updates

  • FCIC/NCIC Training

The Training Unit is also responsible for:

  • Recruitment
  • Part-Time Deputies
  • Administration of employment entrance examinations
  • Employment background investigations
  • Review and update all current training programs
  • Develop and implement officer survival training
  • Develop and implement countywide "In-service Training"
