The McNairy County Sheriff's Office is broadening its team, looking for individuals who are eager to step into the boots of a Correctional Officer. In a recent social media call-to-arms, the Sheriff's Office outlined what it takes to potentially walk the halls of their correctional facility, not just as a guard but as a member of the broader law enforcement community.
Interested parties must meet a set of criteria before they can don the uniform. Applicants should be at least 18, hold U.S. citizenship, and possess at least a high school diploma or GED. The office is adamant on a clean record—no felony convictions or serious criminal history need apply. If applicants have served in the military, an honorable discharge is required. Rounding off the prerequisites is the ability to pass both physical and psychological exams. In a segment obtained from the McNairy County Sheriff's Office Facebook post, the department encourages: "Are you ready to make a difference in your community and start a rewarding career in law enforcement? Join our team today!"
Those looking to answer this call to service must apply in person at the McNairy County Sheriff's Office, located at 300 Industrial Park Drive, Selmer, TN 38375. For any potential questions, the Sheriff's Office is reachable by phone, dialing 731-645-1001.
