Commissioners create civilian corporal supervisory title for detention staff at $24.10 per hour
Summary
To improve career progression for civilian detention staff, the county approved a civilian supervisor (corporal) title at $24.10 per hour and opened the position for current employees to apply; action was justified as a recruitment and retention tool.
St. Francois County commissioners approved creating a civilian corporal supervisory position in the county detention center with a pay rate of $24.10 per hour, a change staff described as intended to provide advancement opportunities for civilian detention employees.
Sheriff’s staff told the commission the new title would allow high-performing civilian staff to advance without becoming commissioned deputies, addressing retention pressures when deputies seek road patrol positions. Commissioners discussed staffing levels and vacancies; staff said the county currently has multiple supervisors (corporals) and some vacancies, and that the civilian title will be available for current employees to apply for when a vacancy exists.
The motion to add the civilian supervisor/corporal position and set the hourly rate at $24.10 was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
