DEPUTY SHERIFF

The Phillips County Sheriffs Office is seeking applicants for a full time Deputy Sheriff Phillips  County is located in northwest Kansas, along the Kansas/Nebraska state line, between Hays, Kansas  and Kearney, Nebraska. Phillipsburg is the county seat, and the Sheriff's Office is the law  enforcement agency for the entire county of 900 square miles. The county population is about 5,000  residents; with 8 ftll time deputies, 3 part time deputies, and 24/7 dispatch providing coverage and  serving the county.  

We are a family-oriented office. We believe our home and family life are essential for positive job  performance. Phillips County can offer the slower pace of work, and life, many people seek. Several  outdoor activities are offered in the area. The 10,000-acre Kirwin Wildlife Refuge provides excellent  hunting and fishing. Additionally, there are 3 state parks and lakes all within a one-hour drive  offering camping and fishing opportunities; as well as a large reservoir just across the state line into  Nebraska. Deer, turkey, pheasant, quail, and dove hunting are all available and in the area.  

Hays, KS and Kearney, NE are a one-hour drive away, providing access to major shopping, events,  and services. Denver, Colorado is 5 hours west and Kansas City is 6 hours east along Highway 36.  These distances put us in the middle of just about everything you could ask for.  

While our pay is less than some other agencies, our cost of living is low and quality of life high. The  ability to know your community, and its members, on a personal level is unquestionably a positive  trade off
