Individuals wishing to gain employment as a detentions deputy at the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office no longer have to wait until they are 21 to apply.
On Tuesday, the Fremont County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution amending the Fremont County Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual with a lower age requirement for detention deputies from 21 to 18.
“Hopefully that will resolve some staffing shortages that we have ongoing,” Fremont County Human Resources Director Alicia Stone said during Tuesday’s BOCC meeting.
