Description:

Deputy Jailer

The Daviess County Detent ion Center, one of the largest jails in Kentucky, is looking for men and women that want to join our team. Join the ranks of other Kentucky peace officers, and become part of one of the largest law enforcement agencies in the area. We offer competitive pay, shift differential, and excellent benefits. Benefits include health insurance, sick leave, compensatory time, double time holiday pay, gym membership and we are part of the Kentucky hazardous duty retirement system.

Hazardous Duty Deputies earn $21.00 per hour working 2nd and 3rd shifts. Overtime pay is time and a half, and compensatory time is available. New deputies usually work 2nd and 3rd shifts, and will earn differential pay once they complete training and are assigned to 2nd or 3rd shift!

Duties include: Supervising inmates, conducting headcounts, completing surveillance rounds of inmates and the facility, responding to emergency situations that may require you to get involved in altercations and/or restraining inmates, monitoring and responding to radio traffic, ensuring inmates follow the rules of the facility, pat down and strip searching inmates, assisting in cell searches, report writing, demonstrating computer and other technology skills, transporting inmates inside and outside the facility, providing security, and any other duties assigned by supervisors in accordance with the law and the needs of the facility.

Deputies will be on their feet and walking a majority of the shift in a fast-paced environment with intense activity for short periods of time. The position will require you to do lifting, pulling/pushing, bending, stretching, reaching, running, and kneeling.

Hazardous Duty Deputies will receive direct exposure to pepper spray, PepperBall, and Taser applications. As a peace officer, you must be able to posses a firearm, and you will be required to qualify with a firearm the agency provides.

Description of the Facility

The 24 hour facility is staffed by approximately eight-five professionally trained deputies to secure the facility while also ensuring the supervision, medical care, visitation, transportation, feeding, and other duties related to the inmates. Along with routine responsibilities, the agency has a canine team, Crisis Negotiations Team, and Special Response Team. The center offers rehabilitation opportunities to the inmates. We offer programs that give participants the tools they need to manage their addiction, and improve their decision making process in other aspects of their lives.

The complex consists of several acres and buildings, most of which is surrounded by fencing and Constantine wire. The Jailer and his staff are responsible for managing all aspects of the operation to include maintenance and repairs. In an effort to develop rehabilitation, the staff supervises inmates that work in the community performing tasks approved by the Department of Corrections.
