Overview

The Department of State’s Attorneys and Sheriffs is seeking to hire an SAS Transport Deputy to work in the Washington County Sheriff’s Department in Montpelier, VT. This is a full-time position, 40 hours per week Monday-Friday. The position is a paygrade 23 with a salary range of $27.50 to $42.94 hourly, and is eligible for State benefits. The SAS Transport Deputy position serves a six-month, full-time status, working test period (probationary period) that does not include any time that may be spent at the Vermont Police Academy for initial certification, or any time on unpaid leave.

The SAS Transport Deputy engages in specialized work for the Department of State’s Attorneys and Sheriffs (“SAS”) and is hosted by a local Sheriff’s Department for law enforcement supervision purposes. This role involves the safe and secure transportation of prisoners, justice-involved persons, and court-involved juveniles to and from court, court-related hearings, or other facilities as ordered by the court. SAS Transport Deputies may also be assigned to perform extradition work and other duties as permitted by policy or approved, or directed, by the SAS Executive Director. While the SAS Executive Director holds the authority to determine job duties, allocate transport deputy positions, and assign them to county Sheriffs’ offices, the SAS Transport Deputy is managed, for law enforcement purposes, by the county Sheriff hosting the SAS Transport Deputy. The work also includes assisting other Sheriffs’ offices with court-ordered transports when requested or, as directed by the SAS Executive Director, or the hosting Sheriff, assisting with statewide transport needs.

Summary of Duties

The position is normally scheduled to work Monday through Friday. However, the starting and finishing times each workday, as well as the specific days of the workweek, are directed by the Sheriff, as approved by SAS, to meet the needs of transports, extraditions, or other authorized assignments. The SAS Transport Deputy must successfully adapt to variations in the daily schedule and manage the pressure associated with transporting individuals who may be experiencing anxiety and stress related to their court or case adjudication. Consequently, incumbents must have excellent interpersonal skills, demonstrate empathy, emotional intelligence, and maturity, and maintain professional behavior and self-composure under stressful situations. Additionally, Transport Deputies are expected to establish positive and collaborative working relationships with other Sheriffs’ offices, the 14 State’s Attorneys’ offices, the Vermont Judiciary, the Departments of Corrections, Mental Health, and Children and Families, the Vermont State Police, and other law enforcement, state, federal, and community partners.

The SAS Transport Deputy must follow all policies, rules, and protocols of the State, the Department of SAS, and the hosting Sheriff, including the SAS Transport Policy. To ensure accurate payment and departmental reimbursement, the SAS Transport Deputy is required to complete and submit accurate timesheets, report all hours and leave time, and timely log all transportation data into any systems provided by the Sheriff or SAS. Deputies must account for all work performed during State-paid hours. If no transports or related duties are scheduled, the Transport Deputy may assist the Sheriff with general law enforcement services within the county, in accordance with SAS Department Policy.

Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

Ability to maintain self-composure under stressful situations, and to make appropriate decisions. Ability to carry out duties with accuracy and attention to detail. Ability to perform tasks in a professional manner and maintain strict confidentiality.

Ability to respectfully interact with co-workers, supervisors, person(s) in transport, the public and partner organizations.

Must have excellent interpersonal skills, and demonstrate empathy, emotional intelligence and maturity, particularly in dealing with vulnerable populations. Ability to use Microsoft Office and the transportation manager IT system(s).

Preferred Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

Working knowledge of Vermont laws and ability to correctly apply them as they relate to Transport Deputy work tasks.

Environmental Factors

Incumbent can expect significant travel throughout the year including during inclement weather. Work hours and daily schedule is dependent upon the transport needs and the court, and one can anticipate delays based upon the courts’ schedules. In addition, there is stress related to the transportation of inmates which may include the potential for physical altercations, medical emergencies, transporting individuals who may be a mental health crisis or suffering from physical ailments, and who may become agitated and emotional based upon court outcomes. Incumbent must be able to drive, sit or stand for long periods of time. May be required to come in for call-ins for unexpected transports or extradition issues.

Minimum Requirements

To qualify for the position, candidates must possess and maintain a valid Vermont Driver’s license. Failure to do so will result in separation from the State Transport Deputy position. Additionally, the incumbent must immediately report any criminal charges and motor vehicle violations to the Sheriff and the Office of the SAS Executive Director. Upon hiring, the employee must have a plan to achieve at least a Level 2 law enforcement certification from the Vermont Police Academy, in coordination with the hosting Sheriff’s Department. While an existing Level 2 certification may be required at the time of hire, a new hire may attain this certification with the approval of the hosting Sheriff’s Department and the SAS Executive Director. Both Level 2 and Level 3 certifications are permissible to perform the typical work of an SAS Transport Deputy. However, if a specific certification is explicitly required for the role, as specified by the SAS Executive Director’s Office, a failure to attain or maintain that law enforcement certification may result in separation from the position. Finally, the SAS Transport Deputy position is subject to a full-time working test period (probationary period) of not less than six months. This six-month period cannot include any time spent at the Vermont Police Academy, nor can it include any time spent on unpaid leave.

Equal Opportunity Statement

The State of Vermont celebrates diversity, and is committed to providing an environment of mutual respect and meaningful inclusion that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. The State does not discriminate in employment on the basis of race, color, religion or belief, national, social or ethnic origin, sex (including pregnancy), age, physical, mental or sensory disability, HIV Status, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, marital, civil union or domestic partnership status, past or present military service, membership in an employee organization, family medical history or genetic information, or family or parental status. The State’s employment decisions are merit-based. Retaliatory adverse employment actions by the State are forbidden.
