LA County Sherriffs Dept jobs: Can you choose what city to work in??? ?

Question

My question is, if you apply for the LA County Sherriffs department to be a cop, do you get to choose what city you work for, or do they choose for you??

Answer 1

No. Your first 3 to 5 years will be spent working in the county jail

Answer 2

You go to a jail nearest you house but they could send you as far. they try and work with you. You work at least 2 years in the jail system before they send you out. Also when you graduate they school they let you have 3 choices of places you want to go after doing your minimum 2yr jail system time.  

Answer 3

When you join the LA County sheriff's department chances are you will not see street duty until you have worked in a jail for several years. Almost all new recruits do jail duty first as they are really short of jail people.

Answer 4

They prefer you work in the city you live in or one close to it.

There are many different divisions of LA SO
