BC Sheriff Services Employee Review

Targeted Bullying

Deputy Sheriff (Former Employee) - Lower Mainland, BC - 4 December 2022

For the most part all is good. However ; there is a couple malicious instructors whom have a chip on their shoulders and think that the world revolves around them. Outside of the JI , they are very insignificant people who have a very small IQ.

Pros

Structured Work Environment

Cons

Low pay and a couple of ignorant instructors

Overworked and Underpaid

Deputy Sheriff / Special Provincial Constable (Former Employee) - Nelson, BC - 21 December 2018

Absolutely no work-life balance. Work culture is negative as people cannot make plans for personal arrangements due to constant last minute changes (overtime or out of town work). Fentanyl and diseases is a great danger when searching and being in contact with inmates.

Cons

long hours

Comeraderie with line staff is great

Deputy Sheriff (Current Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 22 August 2018

As this is a provincial agency, it is vulnerable to the political landscape. It is also a part of the BCGEU, which is a union that does not favour law enforcement occupations. The lack of representation by the union is very frustrating. The service will always be short staffed as quality people will continue to leave for greener pastures.

Pros

Evenings and weekends free (on the most part)

Cons

Comparitively abysmal pay

Good career

Deputy (Current Employee) - Lower Mainland, BC - 11 January 2020

If you can afford to be a BC Sheriff, it’s one of the best jobs out there. Great people, great hours. The training is as good or better than any law enforcement agency out there.
