Resiliency Officer:
The Resiliency Officer is a prevention and resource officer responsible for coordinating and providing resources to vulnerable citizens, including victims, survivors, offenders, and individuals at risk of victimization or reoffending.
The Resiliency Officer is a sworn full-time law enforcement position that is a non-uniformed deputy. The King and Queen County Sheriff’s Office will provide the Resiliency Officer with a take-home vehicle, and the Officer must follow the vehicle take-home car policy.
The Resiliency Officers' position is a concept based on the fact that rural localities like King and Queen County do not have resources readily available for victims, offenders, and people at risk. Essentially, we are setting them up for failure by being reactive rather than proactive. This position will be ever-changing and adapting to meet the needs and provide resources to citizens. After law enforcement leaves a call due to a lack of probable cause to arrest, the Resilience Officer will come in and offer resources, including counseling, anger management, and domestic violence support. Many vital resource providers will not provide services in the home without a deputy escort. This officer will conduct escorts to deliver resources to the homes of those in need. Changing the dynamics in rural Virginia and improving people's lives.
This position is a new concept that brings together resources, outreach, and law enforcement. The selected candidate must be an independent, creative, initiative-driven, and highly motivated individual to succeed in this position.
The King and Queen Sheriff's Office is an accredited agency and a proud partner of the Valued Veterans Program. We are a progressive, proactive department in the heart of the Middle Peninsula. Join our team and make a positive impact on a life forever.
