Evening folks,
I am here hoping to find some insight into law enforcement recruiting. I am currently a student intern with my local county sheriff's office in Texas while I finish my degree. I just transferred from CID to Professional Standards where I am working with the recruiting sergeant to recruit new deputies.
I was hoping I could get some tips and suggestions from all of you who have worked for your agency's recruiting division to come up with innovative ideas to attract new applicants.
Currently, I have compiled a list of law enforcement academies in Texas that officer basic licensing and am contacting the closest ones so that we can come recruit from them.
I am also trying to work with our School Resource Sergeant to recruit High School Graduates to our Corrections Officer positions in our jail.
Our biggest milestone was being allowed to create a social media account, which appears to be our administration's biggest fear.
My Sergeant is also the FTO Sergeant and one of the Daytime Patrol Sergeants who is working with practically no budget from the Sheriff's Office. I am trying to be as great of an asset to her as I can so that we can fill our ten patrol positions with minimal effort from her and virtually no cost due to our lack of budget.
Thanks for any help you all may be able to provide, I assure you it is truly appreciated.
Just for reference, this agency is a medium sized agency comprised of approximately 500 employees with about 200 of them being sworn law enforcement.
