Much like any other employer across the country, the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office has continued to struggle to find new recruits.
“We have been proactive in our recruitment efforts and very happy to have this new group, however we’re still 35 deputies short,” said Sheriff Steve Prator. “I encourage anyone who has integrity and a heart of service to apply to what I believe to be the best law enforcement agency there is.”
Applicants can be as young as 18 years old. There are openings for licensed practical nurses, clerks and security deputies. Those interested should visit caddosheriff.org to get information on qualifications, benefits and how to submit an application.
