Volusia Sheriff’s Office Hosting Virtual Career Fair This Saturday

The Volusia Sheriff’s Office will host its first-ever virtual career fair this Saturday for candidates interested in a rewarding career in public safety. The live event starts at 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 21, and runs until 3 p.m. on the vFairs event platform. Interested candidates can sign up here and register in advance. Those who register by Jan. 21 will be able to access the career fair materials for 30 days following the live event.
VSO recruiters are looking for highly qualified applicants for numerous open positions in the agency. High school and college students, experienced professionals, veterans, and anyone looking for an exciting career change are all encouraged to apply. Anyone looking for information on the benefits of a career that makes a real difference in the community is welcome to attend.
One of the most exciting opportunities at the Volusia Sheriff’s Office is the Training Academy for deputy recruits, which opened in April 2021. Designed for candidates who are brand-new to law enforcement, the VSO Academy puts recruits through a comprehensive, 6-month program that features both classroom instruction and realistic scenario training to provide a solid foundation for a successful career.
Academy recruits earn a starting salary and full benefits while they attend training, with a bump in pay and a $5,000 sign-on bonus available upon graduation.
