Recruitment

Thank you for your interest in the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office. This will inform you of the pay, position requirements, functional disposition, and operational parameters of the position. We here at the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office pride ourselves on professionalism, respect, and common courtesy to our coworkers and the community we serve. We look for the same qualities in our applicants. In return, we offer a rewarding, thorough experience at a sheriff’s office serving a large and well respected community. We offer special operations including our Emergency Response Team, Investigations, K-9 unit, and Marine unit. Please refer to the departmental requirements below.

Department History

OOC: Founded in early 2019 as the Fox Hollow County Sheriff’s Office with the first Sheriff being Ethan Martingale, the department has undergone several reiterations and changes as Fox Hollow grew and expanded from one sim to two, to three, to the seventeen we are at today. Following the 2020 reincorporation of Fox Hollow as a city and Jasper County as the greater county Fox Hollow resides in, the name Jasper County Sheriff’s office was chosen. In April of 2021, Joseph Garcia was appointed as the Sheriff of Jasper County, being employed for his community first policies and desire to change the course of the department towards that of a friendly face. We pride ourselves on realistically depicting a small town Sheriff’s office; you won’t find everyone with a different supervisor title, a million different ranks, and poor roleplay standards here. What you will find is a decently sized, roleplay driven and heavily realistic small town sheriff’s office that aims to bring fun and engaging roleplay to the larger community. This means if you type one word /me’s and can’t type “you” without spelling it “u”, this probably isn’t the department for you. But if you’re that kind of person you probably didn’t read this far, anyway. If you’re still interested in what we have to offer – Congratulations! Please refer to the position requirements below and the application below that.
