Patrol Division

You must first be commissioned through POST (Peace Officers Standards and Training) and carry a valid up-to-date commission. The first process is the written and physical test. The written test is a 100 questions test devised to test the subject’s knowledge of Missouri Law and basic scenario questions. The second phase is the oral interviews boards with the Sheriff, Chief Deputy, Captain, and Lieutenant. Once these two phases are complete and applicant, if chosen, will they be scheduled to take a drug screen, psychological examination, physical composite profile, rigorous background investigation, and the voice stress test. Once all areas of the testing process have been passed and approved the applicant with meet with the Sheriff and Chief Deputy for a final offer.

Our Field Training Program consists of 90 days of hands on training with an approved trainer. The training is divided into four phases with each section testing the deputies past and present performance. The deputy is also required to spend time working in the jail facility and the criminal investigation division. Each phase is graded on the deputies performance and written daily checklist completed to ensure proper evaluation.

Training never stops for deputies with the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office. We are always keeping up to date with the latest in law updates and new technology.
