Qualified applicants will receive an email with detailed instructions and a secure link to complete the Training and Experience Questionnaire online during the submission period. This questionnaire will be a key factor in determining candidate eligibility and ranking.

In addition to the questionnaire, all candidates must pass a qualifying Physical Fitness Test, scheduled to take place on October 9, 2025, to be considered for appointment.

This is an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking a career in law enforcement and corrections to join the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office, which plays a critical role in public safety and the operation of correctional facilities in the county.
