The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department is participating in the Army's Partnership for Your Success jobs program. Sheriff Shannon Dicus says it will help him fill the ranks at a time when doing that is difficult.

The Army's Partnership for Your Success program creates a pathway for veterans to gain a career in the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.The U.S. Army was recently on campus at Rancho Cucamonga High School as recruiters searched for students who might just be the right fit.

But even though many students may seem excited about a career in the military, one has to acknowledge that it isn't a job for everyone. "It's really to create opportunities for soldiers who've served honorably and are looking to exit service to find the best fit for them to pursue their dreams in the civilian sector," said Lt. Col. Matthew Upperman, Commander, Southern California Army Recruiting Battalion.

"It's hard to recruit a law enforcement officer really in the state of California right now, so we really look at this as an advantage," the sheriff said. "I think it's harder for young people to really say, hey is that a career I want to get into."
