Nope, the only requirement for an EL Paso County Deputy Sherrif is a H.S. Diploma or G.E.D.
They teach you what you need to know in their 22 week long academy and you get paid while doing it.
It may vary from city to city, county to county and state to state though.
It's worth a shot though.
I got an email a few days ago from the Colorado Springs Police Dept stating that they had changed their testing procedures and if I wanted to reapply I could and that they would have an orientation for such applicants next month. If the county denies me, I'll try with the city again.
