Celebrate National Correctional Officers Week: Become a Detention Officer
05/08/2023
It's National Correctional Officers Week, Faulkner County! The best way to celebrate is to apply to be a Detention Officer today! We are currently hiring for both part-time and full-time Detention Officers. Sheriff Ryals prides himself on hiring in-house from the Faulkner County Detention Center whenever open patrol positions are available. As a result, this is both a great career opportunity itself if you are interested in pursuing a career in corrections, and it is a great way to get your foot in the door if you are interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement.
Candidates interested in positions with the Faulkner County Detention Center should be 18 years of age, possess a high school diploma or equivalent, have a valid Arkansas driver's license, be able to successfully complete a background check, and have a positive work ethic and attitude.
The new 2023 starting salary for full-time detention officers at the Faulkner County Detention Center is $37,960 annually. Benefits include the following: paid medical, dental, and vision insurance; vacation, sick, and holiday time; APERS retirement after five years of service; a family working atmosphere; equal opportunity to excel; and administration with an open-door policy for all employees.
