We anticipate starting dates in early 2002. We are looking to reach interested individuals from diverse backgrounds. The department has 385 sworn personnel, and over 80 non-sworn support staff in four major divisions. Beyond the diversity of job tasks and assignments, there are also good opportunities for promotion in the agency with 44 sworn supervisory positions. All rank levels below the Sheriff are filled through the promotion process, ranging from Deputy III through Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, up to Chief Deputy.
Employees participate in paid group health, dental, life, and disability insurance.
Deputies are also participants in the state of Wisconsin retirement system, consistently rated as one of the best public retirement plans in the nation. Applicants must take a written examination. An application screening committee then reviews the top scoring applicants to select candidates for participation in an oral examination process. The highest - scoring candidates are then interviewed by a panel of Sheriff s Office personnel for a final ranking. Most candidates will be required to travel to Madison, Wisconsin a minimum of four times to successfully complete the hiring process.
