Job Opportunities

When the Lake County Sheriff’s Office requires additional personnel in any division, job postings are displayed in the front lobby. These postings contain all pertinent information relative to the position that is posted (i.e., qualifications, responsibilities, etc.). The Sheriff’s Office employs personnel for Patrol, the Adult Detention Facility, Clerical Services, Central Dispatch, and Data Processing.
