Affordable housing can be difficult to find.
Overall it is a great place to work. Sheriff's come and go but the current Sheriff is one of the best we have had in the 19 years of my employment. We are finally coming out of the dark ages and getting current.
Advice for prospective applicants:
Do your homework. Learn the county roads, be the best applicant you can be. Do not lie, be forth coming in anything that might be in your closet, so to speak, so it does not come forward later. Be friendly to everyone you meet and treat all person's with RESPECT, the way you would want to be treated.

The leadership gives themselves raises up 120,000 a year, however the deputies are making 36,000 a year. they do some training and are becomig tighter about it. If you dont fit in the circle you are left out in the wind.
Advice for prospective applicants:
Applying for an opportunity to get trained. Mind your p's q's and move on asap.... not hang a around for more than two years.
The Operations Commander places a high emphasis on training and officer safety. She has flexible leadership skills. Pay, stability and advancement are effected by the cost of living resulting in a high turnover with junior officers.
