Henrico Sheriff's Office to host Jan. 21 job fair

The Henrico County Sheriff’s Office will host a job fair and on-the-spot interviews from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21 at the Public Safety Training Center, 7701 East Parham Road.  

The office is seeking to fill positions for deputies and jailors. Candidates must be 21 or older for deputies and 18-20 for jailors. Annual salaries for the positions start at $56,265 and $53,688, respectively.  

Law enforcement professionals who already are state-certified jailors and deputies are eligible to begin the county’s hiring process immediately. Candidates with no prior experience could begin the 13-week basic deputy recruit academy as soon as Feb. 10. The academy is a paid opportunity. 

“If you have a heart for service, we want to meet you at our job fair,” Henrico Sheriff Alisa Gregory said. “If you’re an experienced law enforcement officer, let’s get you onboarded. If you’re an aspiring LEO, let’s get you enrolled in the next basic recruit academy that begins next month.”   

Walk-ins are welcome at the job fair, but prospective candidates are encouraged to submit an RSVP to expedite the interviewing and hiring process. 

“Submit your information using the RSVP, and we’ll get in touch,” Gregory said. “We want to ensure you’re set up for success so we can fast-track your application and jumpstart your career with the Henrico County Sheriff’s Office.”  

The starting salary for deputies is $56,265 and for jailors is $53,688.
