The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is a strong advocate of and is committed to employing our U.S. veterans. These admired and respected men and women uphold many of the same values that are a critical part of our agency’s core values and overall culture.

These are the exact characteristics the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office looks for in a qualified candidate, and we stand dedicated to finding and hiring individuals that not only exhibit such traits but consistently apply them in all that they do. We are proud of Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office sworn and civilian personnel currently defending our country.
