An inside look at sheriff’s deputy training

ANDERSON COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) – The Anderson County Sheriff’s Office said it wants to make sure its deputies are better prepared for just about anything they will encounter. Before anyone can put on a uniform, they have to pass a number of tests and undergo intense training.

On Tuesday, Anderson County Sheriff’s Office showed us exactly what it’s like to be in their shoes.

Trainees and the media first hit the road for precise driving lessons.

“It’s a low speed precision course where we are really emphasizing your precision and handling of the vehicle,” said SSgt. Todd Owens with the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office.
