Matthew Odom Orange County Sheriff 9/10/19

My dream job is to be a Deputy for the Orange County Sheriff’s department. I would start off as

a Deputy Sheriff Trainee. I will be required to attend a paid 26-week P.O.S.T. certified Sheriffs training

academy. In addition, a 2-week training academy. As a trainee I will develop the skill required for entry

into a law enforcement as a Deputy. Trainees will be trained in the California criminal and civil Law as

well as the policies and procedures of the department. After satisfactory evaluation, graduation from

the academy and academy staff recommendations, trainees will be promoted to a Deputy Sheriff. The

trainees the become certified sworn peace officers for the state of California and Orange County. Must

have a U.S. high school diploma, general education development credential, California high school

proficiency certification, or attained a two year or four-year degree from a college or university that is

U.S. accredited.

I think a high school diploma is all that is required because when you get hired you go to their

academy and they teach you what they want you to know and how to do it. My currently classes and

major will help me in my path for my dream job. By having a college degree, I will be more valuable

compared to someone that doesn’t. Having a college degree will start me off at a higher pay and will be

eligible for promotions and raises.

As a Deputy Sheriff Trainee in the academy the hourly pay is $31.96/ hour and $66,476.80

annually.
