JPSO also provides longevity pay at the rate of $3,000 for every five years of service. So, after 5 years, the employee will earn an additional $3,000 per year ($250 per month) over his or her base pay. After 10 years, the employee will earn $6,000 per year ($500 per month), and so on up to 25 years of service.
JPSO also provides increases in deputy/detective base pay, Deputy 1 through Deputy 4, dependent upon the recommendation of supervisors, years of service, and education such as college degrees, college credit, and additional law enforcement training.
*POST certified officers, serving in a law enforcement capacity, also receive Deputy Sheriff's supplemental pay from the State of Louisiana. This equates to $7,200 per year.
