Nevada City, CA – The Nevada County Sheriff’s Office (NCSO) is actively recruiting for correctional officers to work at Wayne Brown Correctional Facility, the county’s primary jail. Those considering a career in corrections or law enforcement are invited to join jail staff on Monday, Sept. 15 for a jail tour, and a questions and answers session. Women are strongly encouraged to attend the tour and apply for open positions as NCSO is mandated to have women staff available to assist and aid incarcerated women (see BSCC CA Title 15 Minimum Standards).
Due to the sensitive nature of jail operations, advance tour registration is required and subject to approval. To get started, interested parties are invited to submit their pre-tour registration form online at https://tinyurl.com/WayneBrown.
After submitting the pre-tour registration, staff will contact tour participants via email to complete their registration, which includes identity verification (valid driver’s license) and a tour waiver form. The entire registration process takes less than five minutes to complete.
