Civilian Staff

Not all members of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office wear a badge and uniform.  Our civilian staff are the backbone of the agency, providing essential services to support the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and keep the citizens of Douglas County safe.  Civilian staff are vital to each division and work side-by-side with deputies and command staff to achieve the agency’s mission.
