  Taking action to build a fairer community
  As a sheriff’s officer, you will enforce warrants and orders issued by the courts. It’s an important job that makes members of the public accountable for unpaid fines and other offences.

You will work on the road and in the community. On any given day, you could be working to resolve issues with:

• people with years of unpaid traffic fines
• homeowners far behind on mortgage payments
• businesses who haven’t honoured a court-ordered payment
• someone who has failed to appear in court as required.

You will have autonomy to manage your own time and the tasks you must complete.

• demanding and collecting payments
• applying wheel-clamps to vehicles
• seizing and removing property for the purpose of sale
• arresting a person named in a warrant.

  There are not many jobs quite like ours. So, rather than demanding specific previous experience, we look for people who have developed the skills that we need on the job.
