It's agency dependent and I highly recommend you visit the website / contact directly the agencies you're interested to work with. Good luck!

However, depending on the county, you may OR may not be required to work at a prison or work at a court, before being placed on your own route / participate in investigative work. Please contact the county Sheriff's Office in question. Also, you might find this info readily available on the Sheriff's Office Website. Yes, you got the first one right on the money.

I'd also like to know the difference between a sheriff deputy and a State Trooper. I already know that sheriff deputies patrol in the county level and the Troopers patrol in the state level. I also heard that sheriff deputies sometimes have to be in the correctional in jail; which, by the way, I'm not interested in. I want to know whether it's a certain types of sheriff deputy that does correctional or all. Ok thank you for the response Radek.

The county serving Los Angeles, CA — I think it’s Los Angeles County — pays pretty well to start. I think people get the misconception that you’ll be stuck at the same salary, but granted you are a good officer and work for a progressive county, things seem to move around faster (salary increases, career advancement, etc.) Many law enforcement agencies reward those with college degrees. Criminal Justice is very much in demand if you are considering to be a Law Enforcement Officer, like a Deputy Sheriff. These same agencies that offer rewards for academic achievements take care of those — for the most part — who completed a higher level degree. So, for example, if an Associate’s pays $35,000 to start a Bachelor’s degree could pay $38,000 and a Master’s $42,500. Of course, it’s an example.. but, you can expect a higher payout and even faster movement through ranks/departments when carrying a college degree ( the higher the better – in my honest opinion ). Yes, there are some departments that payout the same regardless of educational accomplishments. These are usually small agencies and/or those in rural areas. Yes, Sheriff Deputies are on call 24/7 as is any law enforcement officer, but I think the actual percentage of those who actually get “called on” is small – with exception of detectives, SWAT, tactical teams, etc. If you get called to come in, it’s usually for a relevant reason.

I love the job but I’m not really liking the salary. Does your salary go up higher if you have a AA or BA degree in criminal justice or it remains the same? But anyways, do sheriff deputies get called in to work anytime, such as in the middle of the night, for any reason or for a specific reason(s)?
