 * First, start by applying for the position of Deputy Cadet
   here:https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/santafecounty. Once you apply, HR
   will send you a background packet to complete and schedule you for a testing
   date. At the testing date, you will turn in your background packet, you will
   be administered a general knowledge written test, followed by physical
   assessment. If you pass both, a background check will be conducted which can
   take up to 3 weeks or longer depending on your background. At the completion
   of the background check, you will be scheduled for a physical/medical
