A six-month probationary period begins when trainees are appointed by the Sheriff to the rank of Deputy Sheriff.
Alabama POST certified individuals are not required to attend the academy. They are appointed to the rank of Deputy Sheriff and serve a six-month probationary period. Applicants who are eligible for lateral entry equivalency training or with lapsed law enforcement APOST certification will be hired in trainee status until the APOST refresher course is completed.
Applicants who are offered employment will be required to undergo a medical examination by a physician designated by the appointing authority and successfully complete a physical agility test, drug test, and thorough background investigation prior to being employed.
Applicants must be available to work shifts, weekends, and holidays. New hires may reside outside of Montgomery County but are required to live within a response time of thirty (30) minutes of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office before the end of the six month probationary period. This response time is an average time of thirty (30) minutes, obeying all traffic laws. Address must be approved by the Chief Deputy or the Assistant Chief Deputy.
