Court Deputy
I have recently applied to the OCSO as an already certified Court Deputy and just mailed in my credit/background waiver and VSA questionnaire to get the process started.
I am dual-certified (corrections/law enforcement) and the Court Deputy position appealed to me. I was curious if anyone could provide any information about the Court Deputy position. I am aware I must complete the same 20 week FTEP as patrol deputies, however I was curious if Court Deputies got a take-home vehicle once out of the FTEP? If they do not receive take-home vehicles and work off-duty jobs, do they pick up a pool car/MDT or how does that work? Lastly, I'm aware the process takes a while for people wishing to be sponsored but what about applicants that are already certified? Is the Court Deputy process any quicker/slower than a Patrol Deputy position?
Regarding the FTEP, is there 4-6 weeks classroom training/department familiarization or are you immediately sworn in and paired with an FTO and hit the road?
Any information/insight you could provide is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
coleo

Re: Court Deputy
NO take home car for court deputy unless your a supervisor. I almost never see court deputies working off duty so I couldnt answer that question. And they can fast track some of the FTO process for a person who comes with experience depedning on the person.

Re: Court Deputy
From what I've been reading (this could be 100% wrong) but since you're a fully certified/sworn LEO, just assigned to the courts, you can work off-duty gigs. My question was concerning what car/mdt you would use for off-duty jobs since you aren't issued one.

Re: Court Deputy
Only Corporals and Sergeants in the courthouse receive take home cars. Yes they have pool cars and computers and you may work off duty once you are off FTO. I know they are raising the pay for all deputies, including court deputies. We are hiring like crazy and you should hear something soon. I hope you make it...we need good people.

Re: Court Deputy
Actually they want to increase it to 41,000, and you'll start higher with three years of applicable experience. The pros far outweigh the cons....you will love our agency. Lots of opportuniy if you want to take advantage of it. Good luck.

Re: Court Deputy
October 1st the new pay scale goes into effect so you'll be fine. They are even delaying promotions until October 1st.
