The maximum distance deputy would have to run inside the jail is approximately 1200 feet(1/4 mile).Deputies are required to demonstrate the ability to complete a maximum effort essential job function evaluation in the form of an obstacle course of running a distance of approximately 300 feet, or 100 yards, from a sitting position, within which you will have to navigate an obstacle course requiring you to open two doors as you enter and leave a room, serpentine around two stationary obstacles and clear two 16" high hurdles within 45 seconds. On occasion, appropriately qualified jail deputies may be required to perform similar job functions which are normally required of patrol deputies, i.e., extra duty events, riot/crowd control response, searches for suspects outside the confines of the jail, augmentation of the patrol force during major criminal events or natural disaster and catastrophic events such as floods, wind storms and forest fires.
