Applicants who withdraw from the hiring process during the background investigation period will have to wait twelve (12) months from the withdrawal date to reapply.

DUAL TRACK CAREER PATH
The Dual Track Career Path program was developed by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to enhance continuity, stability, and accountability in the Los Angeles County correctional system and Patrol related functions. The Dual Track will allow sworn personnel to select, remain, and promote within their career path of choice: Custody, Patrol, or both.

When applicants complete the Deputy Sheriff Trainee employment application, they will be asked to select their career path. Applicants' career path selection at this time is not binding. The Department will do its best to accommodate the selected Career Path; however, upon graduation from the Sheriff's academy, new Deputies will be assigned accordingly dependent upon the needs of the Department. Once Deputies complete their probationary period they will be afforded the opportunity to re-evaluate their career path selection again.

Deputies who select a career path in Custody can remain and promote within Custody Division, until they elect to change their career path. Deputies who select a career path in Patrol and become patrol certified can transfer and promote throughout the Department.

The hiring process, selection requirements, academy curriculum, and monthly entry-level salary will remain unchanged. Deputies who elect a career path in Patrol, become patrol certified, and complete the required number of years will be eligible to receive additional pay.
