Butts County is on the lookout for a new Code Enforcement Police Officer, a full-time role that's essential for maintaining local order and ensuring the community sticks to set regulations. The Butts County Board of Commissioners announced the position recently as they seek a candidate to work under the supervision of the Code Enforcement Supervisor. This job isn't your everyday desk-bound slog; it's a quest to keep Butts County safe and squeaky clean.
The ideal hire will have to be ready to rigorously inspect properties, respond to complaints, and at times, issue citations. They're expected to actively patrol in county vehicles and to quickly identify any potential code violations. This isn’t your regular nine-to-five. The officer will also have to be prepared to remove illegal signage, attend court hearings, re-inspect properties, and even conduct surprise business license inspections, as detailed on the Butts County website.
The qualifications are straightforward: a high school diploma or GED, computer skills, and either current or former POST certification. It's a role that demands not just the ability to strictly enforce laws and regulations, but also to serve the public dutifully. Coordination with departments like the Sheriff’s Department and Public Works will be a daily part of the job, ensuring the county functions as a unified front against code violations.
Beyond the call to maintain law and order, the job requires an officer to keenly monitor vacant properties and to determine which might need to comply with newer codes or face demolition. The role's documentation demands are rigorous—the officer will need to have an eye for accuracy in records related to the department's operations. There's also a clause for readiness to pivot to emergency shift work, ensuring the residents of Butts County are never left unguarded against the threat of code violations. Think you're up to the task? Applications await at the Butts County website, but be prepared for a criminal background check and drug screening prior to employment.
