Join us to see if you have what it takes to find your inner hero and become a member of our Public Safety Team.  The Public Safety Recruitment Day is Saturday, August 1 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Sam’s Club, 4201 Rodeo Road, Santa Fe, NM.  

The annual event is held to provide an opportunity for individuals to talk with Santa Fe County employees from the Sheriff's Office, Regional Emergency Communications Center, Corrections Department, and Fire Department about what their jobs entail.  This event will also provide the opportunity for those individuals to take practice written tests and participate in practice physical agility tests.

There will be practice written exams for the Sheriff's Office, Corrections and Fire Department positions.  There will also be different stations for sit-up and push-up tests, and the Fire Department will set up their equipment for their step test, dummy drag, and fire hose drag.

In addition to the recruitment activities the community can stop by to see fire engines, a SWAT truck, sheriff units, and just speak with experienced employees excited to talk about the positions they hold. 

The event is free of charge.   To participate in the physical agility tests you will need to bring your driver’s license and come in comfortable clothing.
