Part-Time Deputies

The Cowley County Sheriff’s Office has a Part-time Deputies Unit.  Currently there are 7 Part-time Deputies with this unit.

A Part-time Sheriff’s Deputy goes through the same hiring process as a Full-time Deputy.  All current part-time deputies were once local certified officers or emergency services officers. If not already certified, a part-time deputy must attend the part-time certification course, at the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center, which is two weeks long.  They must pass a written test and firearms qualification to become certified by the state of Kansas. Once they are certified, they will go through field training with a certified field training officer before they are allowed to patrol on their own.

Currently the Part-Time Deputy program conducts all of the security for the District Courts, both in Arkansas City and Winfield.  These Deputies also fill in for vacation as well as assist with Civil Process service throughout the county.

The Cowley County Sheriff’s Office Part-time Deputies are an invaluable asset to the Sheriff’s Office and to Cowley County.
