Lateral or Entry Level, Your Choice!

If you're a lateral applicant, "you need current Peace Officer POST certification or Idaho Detention Officer POST certification," according to their posted job description, "plus at least two years of commissioned experience."

If you're cool under pressure and security-savvy, this is for you. Secure and transport inmates to various locations. At the CTC, you'll supervise participants, ensure security, make arrests, and monitor participants on their journey to rehabilitation. Court Security Deputies are the guardian of safety for judges, court employees, and the public at the Ada County Courthouse Campus.
