I can’t decide whether I should join the sheriffs department or the police department because I want to one day be a detective?
And both my local sheriffs department and police department have a detectives bureau and swat and all that but I never seem to hear about the sheriffs department in the news where with the police you hear about there investigations and arrests I also never see the sheriffs but I like the idea of working county wide because the city I live in is small so based on experience where would you guys recommend to work for

Call the general number (non-emergency) of both departments and say you are interested in joining.
Each department can give you a whole lot more information that we can. They can tell you what the process is, what the training is like, the chances for advancement and can probably answer all of you questions.
We can answer none of them,
You apply for every job you can...
then once you have multiple offers, you can decide which to take.
As it is now, hope you get accepted by one.
