Now Hiring: Deputy Sheriff - Rice County, Kansas

Service. Integrity. Community.

Rice County is looking for men and women who feel the call to serve-not for applause or titles, but because doing the right thing still matters.

We're not seeking perfection or bravado-just people with grit, humility, and a deep sense of purpose. What we value is quiet strength, steady hands, and a heart that beats for others. Law enforcement isn't always easy-but it is meaningful. If you're someone who finds purpose in helping people, standing up for what's right, and being part of a team that believes in something bigger than themselves, we invite you to apply.

Long hours. Quiet sacrifice. Recognition may be scarce-until the moment it matters most.
For those willing to step into the unknown, the reward isn't given. It's earned. And it's lasting.


What We Offer:

  • Starting Pay: $19.00-$22.53/hr depending on qualifications
  • Post-Academy Pay Bump: For non-certified hires upon certification
  • 12 Paid Holidays
  • KPERS Retirement
