"Joining DCSO means becoming part of a family dedicated to serving with honor, valor, and integrity ."
For more than three decades, I have had the privilege of serving the people of Douglas County. During that time, I have witnessed firsthand the courage, commitment, and professionalism that define the men and women of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.
Every day, our deputies step forward to confront danger, protect the vulnerable, and hold the line against crime. It is a calling that demands character, teamwork, and dedication to our community.
If you feel that calling—if you’re ready to serve something greater than yourself—there is a place for you here. Together, we will continue to safeguard our neighborhoods, uphold justice, and make a lasting difference in the lives of others.
