With any job, understanding the responsibilities can differ vastly from actually doing the work. Reading a book can not always repair you for what is seen on the job site. For a deputy sheriff job, this could not be more true. Understanding the deputy sheriff job becomes easier when given the experience of working with others in the position and working in the position.
The first thing to know is the differences in the educational process. Some institutions offer a two-year degree program, while others offer a four-year degree program. While the two-year will send you out into the workforce sooner, it does not necessarily mean you will be fully prepared for what the job entails on the first day. The lack of experience can be a hindrance to their ability to perform while in the field. The four-year program gives students a little more preparation, in addition to offering additional internships and programs that can give students real-world experience. This will help them to better understand what a sheriff must do on the job, as well as give them the confidence to handle the position.
