THE SUMMIT COUNTY SHERIFF’S TRAINING UNIT HAS BOTH DEPUTIES AND NON-DEPUTIES.  THEY WORK AT THE SHERIFF’S TRAINING FACILITY AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRAINING OF ALL OF OUR DEPUTIES.

THE PEOPLE WHO WISH TO BECOME DEPUTIES ENROLL IN OUR TRAINING SCHOOL (CALLED THE ACADEMY) AND ARE CALLED CADETS.  THEY LEARN ALL ABOUT BEING A DEPUTY.  SOME OF THE THINGS THEY LEARN ABOUT IS OHIO LAW, SELF DEFENSE, FIRST AID, DEFENSIVE DRIVING AND HOW TO SHOOT THEIR GUNS.  DEPUTIES NEED TO LEARN ALL OF THIS TO ENFORCE THE LAWS AND PROTECT YOU.

EVERY DEPUTY HAS TO GO TO THE ACADEMY FOR ONE WEEK EVERY YEAR TO LEARN ABOUT NEW LAWS.  THEY ALSO PRACTICE WITH THEIR GUNS AND TAKE LESSONS IN SELF DEFENSE.
