Calaveras Graduates (3) Deputies from the Police Academy
     On February 10, 2023, The Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office had three deputies graduate the Stanislaus Regional Training Police Academy.  All three were previously Calaveras County Jail Correctional Officers and are excited to make the transfer from the jail to patrol.  Although working in the jail is not a requirement to become a patrol deputy with Calaveras, these three individuals expressed the desire to become deputies and were sponsored by the Sheriff’s Office to fulfill their career dreams.  The academy training included extensive instruction on criminal law, constitutional law, traffic law, patrol procedures, firearms, defensive driving, de-escalation efforts, and first aid.
     In the coming weeks, the new deputies will begin their Field Training Program. During this time, commonly referred to as FTO, new deputies are paired with a Corporal (training deputy) to receive in field training before becoming a solo patrol deputy.   Sheriff DiBasilio plans to continue sponsoring recruits through police academies in order to maintain adequate staffing levels, decrease response times, and increase proactive law enforcement activities.
     The department will be sponsoring a new group of recruit deputies in the next academy beginning around April 2023.  Persons interested in a carrier in law enforcement with the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office should visit the department recruiting web site.   https://joincalaverassheriff.com/  or call Lieutenant Greg Stark 209-754-6783 or Sergeant Kevin Stevens 209-754-6028.
