VANCOUVER – Clark County today announced that it will offer sign-on bonuses for deputies hired in the Corrections Branch of the Sheriff’s Office.
The establishment of the sign-on bonuses is a collective attempt by county staff and the Corrections Deputies Guild to address a staffing crisis at the Clark County Jail. On March 15, the Guild reported 20 current vacancies in the jail staff.
Individuals who have current experience working as a Corrections officer hired as a Clark County Corrections deputy will receive a $25,000 sign-on bonus as described below.

Corrections deputies provide crucial services supporting community members who are housed in the jail. The mission of Corrections is to promote and maintain public safety through effective correctional and reentry practices with a vision to help inmates successfully re-enter our community through a comprehensive level of supervision and care.
The Corrections Deputies Guild and the Enforcement Deputies Guild are bargained separately. The Enforcement Deputies Guild is still in the bargaining process with the county.
The Sheriff’s Office is a full service, 24/7 law enforcement agency that offers many employment opportunities for commissioned law enforcement deputies, correctional facility deputies and civilian support workers.
