8 hour shifts, set days off, year probation, to get descent days off you need to be there a while, seniority based days off, worked there for 2 years, still have some friends that still work there, haven't had a raise in over 2 years due to the county budget, tmrs retirement, they test for deputy every year, it's a easy job, lots of good people work there, fun sometimes too, pm me if you have any more questions

I thought you had to work in the jail for 2 yrs before you could apply for patrol? They're hiring from the outside now?

Either 2 years in the jail or 30 hours of college, I had a friend test last month, from the jail, and she said there were people that tested that didn't work at the county
