Kankakee County Sheriff

[littleguy]

Their website says they're testing. The question is are they hiring.

17 openings? wow thats pretty good, i dont get the 80 hours thats really goofy i would apply if i had 80 credits

They do have a residency requirement. It is anywhere in the limits of Kankakee County. There was an article in the Daily Journal (local paper) that advised they were not hiring I read. They're just putting a list together. I hope that answers everyones questions.

Just finished orientation; hiring for sure 3 officers. Residence requirement and I'm out!! About 80 applicants total.

The Sheriff is a really good guy and takes care of the department. Haven't heard too many of their guys say bad things about him. Pretty active department, have some good speciality units, decent equipment, take home car, etc. I think the 80 hours is there so people had to go a little above and beyond a simple Associate's Degree but requiring a Bachelor's Degree for a county this size might significantly shrink the applicant pool. Also, having a Bachelor's Degree doesn't necessarily mean a better officer.
