A Message from Sheriff Gregory Tony:
At BSO, a career in public service is more than a job—it’s a path to stability, growth and purpose. Many of our employees have overcome challenges, embraced new opportunities and found a place where they belong. I invite you to meet some of our members who have taken the challenge and become BSO champions.
Sergeant Connie Wallen understands this firsthand. While visiting Broward County on military leave, she was stopped by a BSO deputy for driving without headlights. During their conversation, she shared her desire to continue serving beyond the U.S. Army. Instead of issuing a ticket, the deputy handed her a job application—an opportunity that changed her life.
Now, as a leader in the Recruitment Unit, Sergeant Wallen and her team take a proactive and far-reaching approach to attract top talent interested in pursuing a career of service and purpose. From job fairs to local partnerships and nationwide outreach, Sergeant Wallen ensures all applicants receive the support and guidance they need to succeed.
Deputy Jason Rae always had potential, but like many young people, he needed the right guidance to shape his future. A local deputy—who was also his football coach—recognized his drive and encouraged him to dream bigger. That mentorship led Jason to play Division I football at UCF, where he built the discipline and leadership skills that would later define his law enforcement career. Now, as a law enforcement deputy, he’s paying it forward, mentoring and protecting the next generation—just as his coach once did for him.
For Deputy Sean Flynn, public service was always his goal. He started as a Police Explorer in his hometown, eager to learn the fundamentals of law enforcement. When it came time to launch his career, he set out to join a department that would truly accept him for who he was—and BSO was just that. Today, he serves with great pride, committed to an organization where he feels valued and a community that promotes inclusivity.
A career at BSO isn’t just about enforcing the law—it’s about changing lives, including your own. We understand today’s professionals want more from their careers—they seek security, fulfillment and opportunities to grow. The benefits at BSO expand beyond a paycheck. Our employees receive competitive pay, excellent healthcare, generous time off, tuition reimbursement, access to a comprehensive wellness program, retirement packages and so much more.
At BSO, military veterans find camaraderie, young professionals find mentorship and those seeking a fresh start find opportunity. If you’re ready to take the next step, visit jobs.sheriff.org to apply today. For questions, contact our Recruitment Unit at recruitmentunit@sheriff.org.
Your future starts here. Let us help you build it.
