How can you join?
The first step to becoming a Deputy Sheriff in the Kane County Sheriff Office is to send a join request. After you send one you should either be accepted or denied within 24 to 48 hours. We do a quick background check on all potential Deputies to see weather they fit in with Kane County Sheriff. If you do get accepted which is most likely you will be given the rank of Academy. Academy Cadets are the lowest on the totem pole and have no rank yet. They are not a fully sworn in Deputy. Once you finish the Academy you will either pass or fail. If you fail you will have to repeat the academy. If you pass you will be ranked Deputy Cadet. Deputy Cadets are sworn in law enforcement officers but cannot drive by themselves. They will need to drive with a Deputy III +.
