On behalf of the 4,500 men and women of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department I want to thank you for your interest. I am confident that as you view our website that you will appreciate the significant challenges, and the wonderful opportunities that you have by becoming a member of our professional organization and serving your community.

Riverside County is the 4th largest of California's 58 counties in both population and sheer land mass.  It has constantly been among the fastest growing counties in the country.  At 2,300 sworn positions, serving across 7,300 sq. miles and policing 15 of the 26 cities in Riverside County, the Sheriff's Department is the 3rd largest Sheriff's Office in California.

Joining our law enforcement family gives you an incredible opportunity to serve in patrol operations, corrections, courts and coroner operations.  Over the past 12 months alone, we have sworn in nearly 500 deputies with a large number of lateral officers from a number of Southern California agencies.  The rapid expansion of the department over the next few years will also give wonderful opportunities for advancement and other career opportunities not found in departments experiencing our growth.

Whether you are new to law enforcement or a veteran officer, you will be welcomed to our family and have access to unprecedented opportunities in law enforcement.
