ATLANTA — Troup County deputies and detention officers will soon have more money in their pockets thanks to a significant pay raise taking place in September.
The sheriff's office made the announcement on Wednesday.
Deputies will receive a $6,000 raise and jail staff will receive a $4,500 raise.
Marshals, certified firefighters and certified 911 personnel will also be receiving $6,000 raises. The sheriff's office said "most administrative staff will receive the normal cost of living increase as previously budgeted."
"We are certainly grateful to the Board of Commissioners, County Manager Eric Mosley and Chief Financial Officer Sonya Conroy for their hard and dedication to ensuring we are able to provide the best public safety to the people of Troup County," the sheriff's office said in a statement.
Just last month, Clarkston police received a 12% pay raise to address staffing concerns and last year, officers in DeKalb County received a 6.5% raise.
