Join Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office

Detention Officer Job Description:
Detention Officers of the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office are responsible for the direct
supervision of those persons in custody at the Mecklenburg County Detention Center. Specific duties
include visually monitoring and supervising of persons in custody, monitoring visitations,
maintaining computerized log entries in the Offender Management System, ensuring the safety and
security of the detention facility, and preparing reports as necessary. Selected candidates are
required to pass a reading comprehension test, physical examination, psychological evaluation, and
an in-depth background investigation.

Successful candidates for Detention Officer positions must be of good moral character and must not
have a criminal history that would prevent them from being able to obtain and maintain Detention
Officer certification from the North Carolina Sheriff’s Education and Training Standards

12 hour shifts in a (14) day pay period totaling approximately 86 hours. Detention Officers
assigned to permanent night shift will have an opportunity to work towards seniority which allows
them to be assigned to a permanent day shift position (6:40 AM – 7:00 PM).
Night shift personnel (6:40 PM – 7:00 AM) are paid a shift premium that equates to an additional
$2.00 per hour for their regularly scheduled shift assignment.

Starting Salary: $63,336. (80-hour pay period) $68,086. (86-hour pay period)

Minimum Qualifications:

Candidate must have a High School Diploma, or G.E.D. equivalence.

time. Designated positions may be required to assist in emergency and/or disaster situations.
