Anyone have any info on the Johnson County Sheriffs Office?

Yeah, you work in the jail starting out and could be there for several years before ever making it to the road.

Do they send you to the academy at JCCC?

[Atoolin]

Yes, they do.

I know plenty. Good agency, big agency. People love or hate Sheriff Denning. I've never worked with for the man, but every time I've spoken with him, he's been good to me.

You start in the jail and work your way out from there. Road Patrol is smallish compared to the rest of the agency, maybe 50 deputies covering Desoto, Edgerton and the unincorporated areas. But there are plenty of opportunities that aren't road patrol. Court Security, Civil Service, Investigations, even dispatch (JOCO SO dispatchers for probably a third of the county and all the dispatchers are Deputies).

The road patrol is definitely small so it's a little hard to get to it. I think they only have about 25 to 30 deputies on the road actually. They only have 7 districts, so if you figure 7 districts x 3 shifts, that's 21 minimum.

The money is excellent. The opportunities are really vast. I would say if you can deal with being stuck in the jail checking cracks and counting spoons for a few years, it would be worth it.
