Job Title: Police Officer/Deputy Sheriff

Job Description: A career as a Police Officer or Deputy Sheriff is a career in which you can truly make a difference - a difference in your life, a difference in the lives of others, and a difference in your community. It is not simply a job; it is a career with serious responsibilities and a career that can truly bring out the best in you.

Police Officers and Deputy Sheriffs play a vital role in maintaining the safety, protection, and welfare of our communities, but, at its core, law enforcement is a service career. Policing is as much about helping people as it is about enforcing laws. Policing involves having positive daily interactions with citizens and establishing connections with the community that facilitate the ability to collect, analyze, and share critical information and resources.

While the challenges and demands of the job are real, as a Police Officer or Deputy Sheriff, you will be expertly trained to respond to any emergency or crisis situation. You may be provided demonstrated opportunities to advance in your career through a clear rank structure and opportunities to work in specialty units and assignments, including: emergency response, honor guard, K9, criminal investigation, community relations and engagement, hazardous devices, crisis negotiation, traffic and patrol, school safety, motorcycle units, mounted police, cybercrime, animal protection, victim support, and officer training and instruction, among several others.

Being a Police Officer or Deputy Sheriff will ask a lot of you, but it will provide so much in return. You'll have a feeling of accomplishment in knowing that your presence conveyed a sense of security, protection, and peace of mind; that you provided support and comfort to those in crisis; and you served as a role model to the community. By seeking to join one of our 18 law enforcement departments (listed in the following section) in the Greater Birmingham area and Jefferson County, you are taking an active step toward building a stronger and safer community and establishing a meaningful and secure career.
