Professional Standards Bureau-Recruiting/Retention
The Newport News Sheriff’s Office continues to rise to the challenge to find men
and women who meet the requirements to serve the community as a deputy
sheriff. Our dynamic recruitment strategy has greatly reduced the application-to-
offer time frame.
The year 2024
saw a six per-
cent increase in
the number of
applicants com-
pared to 2023.
However, about
four percent of
all applicants
made the cut,
which didn’t
keep up with
turnovers due to
retirements or
resignations. Most new employees in 2024 were Black and African-American
women, continuing our commitment to have a diverse workforce that reflects
the Newport News community.
