When our Deputies are hired they are asked to reside in a specific geographical area of the county. This is determined at the time of hire and is based on where the Department opening is at the time. On some occasions the new hire is not asked to live in a specific area of the County, which would occur if and when the opening is not a Patrol Deputy Position such as Bailiff, Civil, Narcotics Task Force, School Resource Officer and others.
