Employment
If you are interested in starting a career in law enforcement the first step is to fill out an application so the department can keep a fresh pool of applicants in the event that they have an opening.
You must be 18 years of age or older for non-sworn positions and 21 years old for sworn positions. You must have a high school diploma or equivalent with a clean criminal and driving record.
If you are interested in learning more about employment with the Prairie County Sheriff's Department, please come to the sheriffs department and pick up an application or you can download and fill out the application below provided in the PDF link. Online applications need to be emailed to the supervisor of whichever position you are applying. Those email addresses will be under the Departments and Services ADMINISTRATION tab on this website.
