MOU status: DoD MOU current through December 13, 2028.

What these labels mean

MOU active: An MOU is the agreement between an employer and the SkillBridge program. When it expires, the employer has to renew it before it can take new service members.
MOU expires soon: The agreement ends within 90 days. That is not a reason to rule a program out. It is a reason to ask the employer where the renewal stands.
MOU expired: The date on the government listing has passed. We still show the program, because hiding it would shrink this directory in a way we could not explain. Confirm status with the employer before you apply.
MOU date not stated: The government listing carries no expiration date for this organization.
Detailed listing: The employer filled in most of its record: length, delivery method, eligibility, and a description of the work.
Partial listing: Some of those fields are filled in and some are blank.
Sparse listing: Very little of the record is filled in. That is common, and it is not a judgment about the program or the employer. It does mean you will have to ask them more questions directly.

Dates come from the government SkillBridge export. We do not screen, rank, or endorse organizations, and we take nothing from them.

Summary

The goal of the King County Sheriff’s Office SkillBridge Program is to provide service members with an opportunity to gain valuable work experience through structured criminal justice training within the King County Sheriff’s Office by: • Learning and participating in simulated Sheriff’s deputy tasks. • Developing an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of a Sheriff’s deputy. • Participating in training that introduces the fundamentals of law enforcement, with the opportunity to attend the Washington State Basic Law Enforcement Academy (BLEA) and ultimately become a commissioned Deputy Sheriff with the King County Sheriff’s Office.

Eligibility

This program follows the King County Sheriff’s Office entry-level hiring process and procedures, providing service members the opportunity to join the agency while completing pre-BLEA training, the Washington State Basic Law Enforcement Academy (BLEA), and post-BLEA training. Upon successful completion of BLEA and the SkillBridge Program, participants will receive an offer for employment as a fully commissioned King County Sheriff’s Deputy.

What the work involves

All deputies begin their careers on patrol. Jail service is not required. Our deputies gain a strong sense of ownership in their communities by interacting with the residents, business owners, and visitors in the area. Job duties include, but are not limited to: Patrol a designated area of the county and respond to calls for service. Interview victims and witnesses, secure and gather evidence. Complete all administrative tasks such as incident and arrest reports. Investigate family disputes and reports of maltreatment of children. Respond to calls of service involving persons with social or behavioral problems. Be a resource to the community and seek opportunities to participate in community activities. Testify in court and present facts and observations accurately and objectively.
