Sheriff's Service Officer I

The Riverside County Sheriff's Office is accepting applications for Sheriff's Service Officer I to support the John Benoit Detention Center in Indio.

Under general supervision, performs a variety of support services, maintenance tasks, and supply and record keeping activities for the Riverside County Sheriff's Department; and performs other related duties as required.

The Sheriff's Service Officer II class differs from the Sheriff's Service Officer I class in that the latter requires closer supervision while performing the duties and the former possesses six months of experience working in a law enforcement facility.

A Sheriff's Service Officer (SSO) is differentiated from a Community Services Officer (CSO) in that the SSO performs routine support activities that may require knowledge in a specific/limited area, but do not require extensive training and knowledge of multiple regulations, ordinances, and codes.

SSO incumbents may perform some of the same duties of a CSO; however, these duties are performed at a County/City facility and under the supervision of a county employee, unlike the CSO incumbent who would perform these duties independently in the field without on-site supervision.
