Sheriff says county opened applications for head jailer and deputy positions
Summary
The Mitchell County sheriff reported April 28 that applications are open for the head jailer/captain and a deputy sheriff; the jailer position received strong interest and a mid‑May hire for that role is the current target, while the deputy process requires additional testing steps and no firm end date.
The Mitchell County sheriff told the Board of Supervisors on April 28 that the application process is open for both the head jailer (captain) and a deputy sheriff.
"We have opened up the application process for both the head jailer and the deputy sheriff position," the sheriff said, adding the head jailer posting (captain) drew a strong response and the department hopes to have that position filled by mid‑May. He said the deputy position was posted more recently and will require a longer hiring process because of additional testing and procedural steps.
The sheriff gave no firm date for completing the deputy hire and said staff will focus on testing and candidate evaluation before returning with a timeline. There were no motions or votes tied to these personnel updates recorded in the transcript.
