🐾From Framing Houses to Changing Lives 🛠️➡️👮‍♂️

Before joining the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office, Deputy J. Jimenez was busy framing houses—building structures that would shelter lives. At age 22, he made a shift to protecting and serving, bringing that same dedication to the community he now proudly serves.

For the past 2.5 years, he’s found the greatest reward in “positively affecting people’s lives.” It’s this mission that motivates him every single day: “I get up every morning with the goal of changing one person’s life for the better.”

His advice to future deputies or his younger self? “Be a good role model for those looking up to you.”

And while he’s committed to service, Deputy Jimenez shared that if he weren’t in law enforcement, he’d be a zookeeper—a reflection of his deep love for animals and desire to care for others, no matter the species.

Ready to step into a role where purpose meets passion? We`re hiring.

🎓✨ Turning Tassels into Transformation: Deputy E. Barrella’s Path to Purpose from @appstate classrooms to the front lines of community service, Deputy E. Barrella proves that impact doesn’t come from size, it comes from heart.

Just seven months into her role at CCSO, she’s living out her calling with grit, compassion, and a determination that shines far beyond her 23 years.

💬 “Getting to help people and interact with the community is the most rewarding part of my job. Even when things get tough, keep pushing...it’s worth it in the end.”

Whether responding to a call or unwinding with a round of golf, Deputy Barrella leads with purpose and faith:

🙏 “I know I’m here for a reason. God has given me another day to live and experience all the things this life has for me.”

📢 To recent graduates: if you’re seeking a career that’s bigger than you, one that challenges you, grows you, and lets you give back, CCSO is waiting for you.

🟦 Service. Purpose. Community.

From Service to Sheriff`s Deputy – Veterans Make an Impact at CCSO

Meet Deputy Walker, who joined CCSO after serving as a Sergeant in the U.S. Army. Like many veterans, Walker was driven by a desire to continue protecting others and law enforcement gave him that purpose.

He has now been with CCSO for 3 years, bringing the same dedication and discipline he learned in the military to the streets of Cleveland County.

👮‍♂️ “Ethics and morals make a good deputy. Always remain humble.” – Walker’s advice to future deputies speaks to the leadership and integrity veterans bring to our team.

If you`re a veteran looking for your next mission, CCSO is ready to welcome you. Your skills, values, and experience make you an ideal candidate to serve and protect in uniform again—this time, at home.
