Lane County Sheriff’s deputies who are hired from another police agency enter the field training and evaluation process (FTEP). They also complete remote training with Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training. Congratulations to Deputy Pereira for recently completing patrol FTEP! Deputy Pereira joined LCSO after working as a police officer on the east coast for 3 years. He brings a wealth of experience, and says he enjoys the rural nature of working here. His prior agency served about the same size population as Lane County – but within less than 50 square miles! Want to join the family? We’re hiring!
