San Diego County, CA-Deputy
http://www.sdsheriff.net/jobs/
The San Diego County Sheriff's Department is unusual compared to most other law enforcement agencies in the United States. Few if any other Sheriff's Departments face the incredible 4200 square mile area, covering terrain that is as diverse as the two and a half million multi-cultural people living in San Diego County. The San Diego County Sheriff's Department serves its residents from seven stations, nine substations, and three resident offices located in rural areas with high quality, diversified, and cost-effective law enforcement service. Deputy Sheriff's can also work in the Detentions and Court Services Bureaus as well as in Law Enforcement.
