GENESEO, N.Y., Aug. 16, 2024 — Those looking to begin a career in law enforcement should mark their calendars with the upcoming Deputy Sheriff (Road Patrol)/Police Officer civil service exam on Saturday, Sept. 28. Registration for the exam will close on Thursday, August 29, at 4 p.m.
By taking and passing the exam, applicants will appear on the civil service list from which the Sheriff’s Office is required to select new hires. This is an excellent opportunity to be considered for a fulfilling career with the Sheriff’s Office, said Livingston County Sheriff Thomas J. Dougherty.
"If you are considering a career in law enforcement, you want to sit for as many tests as possible as we can only hire full-time off the list,” he explained. “With a full-time appointment, it could mean being paid to go to an academy with full pay and benefits."
Those selected for this position may assist the Sheriff’s Office with criminal investigations, transporting incarcerated individuals and apprehending suspects, among other duties.
Dougherty said the Livingston County Sheriff's Office prides itself on upholding the highest standards of public safety and community service. He invited individuals who share those values to consider this rewarding career path and register for the exam today.
"The Livingston County Sheriff's Office is a solid team built on integrity and trust; we would love for you to join us if you share those values," he added.
The examination is scheduled for September 28, 2024, and the exam fee will be waived for current legal residents of Livingston County and military veterans. The exam fee is $20 for non-Livingston County residents. Interested candidates can find more information and apply through the Deputy Sheriff (Road Patrol)/Police Officer exam listing here.
