Portland Catalog
Every entry-level deputy will start their career at our 9-week, in-house academy. We believe this “pre-academy” is critical to the short and long-term success of our deputies. After pre-academy, jail and patrol recruit deputies attend their respective state academies at the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training in Salem, Oregon. Jail recruits attend the 6-week basic corrections course. Patrol recruit deputies attend the 16-week basic police course.
