LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Sheriff's Office is conducting an outreach campaign to area residents in an effort to fill two dozen empty positions in the agency.
The first of the four “recruitment presentations” at locations throughout the county will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 24, at the Middletown Library, 21256 Washington St.
The other presentations, which also will take place from 7 to 9 p.m., will be held on Tuesday, March 3, at the Brick Hall, 16374 Main St, Lower Lake; Tuesday, March 10, in the Lake County Board of Supervisors chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport; and Thursday, March 19, at Marymount California University, 3700 Country Club Drive in Lucerne.
Undersheriff Chris Macedo said the presentations will cover topics including job descriptions, minimum requirements, benefits, wages and the hiring process.
Macedo said the sheriff's office currently is recruiting for 24 positions.
Those include seven deputy sheriff vacancies, eight correctional officers, two correctional aides, five dispatchers and two law enforcement records technicians.
Keeping positions filled in the agency is an ongoing challenge. “The Lake County Sheriff’s Office has only been fully staffed one time in the last 25 years,” Macedo noted.
For more information, call Macedo at 707-262-4200.
