Riverside is the fourth largest county in the state of California, and I since I've been employed with the Sheriff's Department, I've gained lots of wisdom and knowledge in the law enforcment field. Also, there are meny opportunities for advancement and higher pay in every position - whether it's a sworn or non-sworn .

Advice for prospective applicants:

Never underestimate your self worth and job skills. Apply and test for whatever position you feel you're qualified for and capable of doing an excellent job in. You won't know if you don't try.

The Riverside County Sheriff's Department Is The Best Department I have Seen Yet. I Have Never Seen A Department That Has So Much Support For Its Deputies. A Call For Help Goes Out And Half The Department Is There. Its A Great Agency!

Advice for prospective applicants:

It May Be Tuff To Go Through The Employment Process But It Is Worth Every Minute.

The Department is excellent in education and a strong training curriculum in all phases of law enforcement. The department adopted Ben Clarke Public Safety Training Center for all Law Enforcement Agencies & Fire Departments.

Advice for prospective applicants:

If one is seeking a career in Law Enforcement, consider this department as a long standing career. The only demands for this department, one must strive for Honesty, Integrity, and must always speak the Truth.

As with a lot of large departments, promotion depends on "who you know, not what you know".

Riverrside County Sheriff deserve this rating due to the remarkable job they are conducting even though they are currently under staffed and still keeping "scum baggs" off the streets.

Advice for prospective applicants:

Please do... It will not only benifet you but all of the residents in the area you work for. Do it cause you love it, not for the money! There is no point in preforming a job you hate, those are the cops people reffer to as "dicks!"
