Message from Washington Parish Sheriff's Office: We're Hiring!

Good Morning,

Our office is currently accepting applications for communications deputies (dispatch), corrections deputies, and POST-1 certified patrol deputies. If you’re looking for a career with excellent benefits and opportunities for advancements and you’re ready to make a difference in your community, give us a call or fill out an online application.

  • Communication Deputies are an essential part of our team, fielding calls from the public, coordinating response efforts between units, and managing the computer and phone systems that allow us to relay vital information in order to better serve the public. Must be 18 to apply, and possess a valid driver’s license and high school diploma or GED. The ideal candidate will have strong communication and multitasking skills, and be able to work on rotating shifts. Pay is $16/hr.

  • Corrections Deputies work in the Washington Parish Jail, providing safety and security to our inmates while maintaining law and order within the facility. Our team works together to keep the facility humming along, and a functioning jail is critical to maintaining law and order within the community. Must be 18 to apply, and possess a valid driver’s license and high school diploma or GED. Pay is $14.25/hr.

  • Patrol Deputies are our front-line team members, working with the public to maintain peace and safety within our community. Deputies who are already POST certified will be preferentially hired, but anyone interested in a career in law enforcement is encouraged to apply. Non-certified applicants may work in the jail until they are offered a slot at our training academy to become POST certified patrol deputies. Base pay depends on experience and certifications.

All positions come with a competitive benefits package, including medical coverage, pension, vacation, and opportunities for advancement within the organization. Applications can be found on our website, https://www.wpso.la.gov/
