The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office is proud to announce that the agency has earned the designation of VETS Indexes 4 Star Employer in the 2024 VETS Indexes Employer Awards. The award recognizes the organization’s commitment to recruiting, hiring, retaining, developing, and supporting veterans and the military-connected community.
As the most objective and comprehensive evaluation of veteran employers, the VETS Indexes Employer Awards program has set a new standard in veteran employment data. VETS Indexes and its Employer Awards have been featured on CNBC, Fox Business and BNN Bloomberg, as well as military-specific outlets, including Military.com, Military Times and Stars & Stripes. This in-depth survey and recognition program analyzes employers’ policies, practices, and outcomes in detail, across the following 5 categories:
The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office is a Veteran’s Preference employer. Between employees in law enforcement, detention, and professional support staff positions, as well as unpaid volunteers, more than 15% of the agency’s workforce are veterans or active in the National Guard and Reserves.
The agency has a strong relationship with local veterans’ groups including American Legion Post 115 (of which Sheriff Rick Staly is an auxiliary member), AMVETS Post 113, DAV Chapter 86, and VFW Post 8696. In addition, Sheriff Staly and members of FCSO regularly attend community events to support veterans, such as the Flagler Veteran’s Day Parade and Veteran’s Day Recognition at Flagler Auditorium.
“Whether it’s through our hiring practices or when we’re out supporting our community, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office is committed to serving our nation’s veterans,” said Sheriff Staly. “We’re extremely honored to be recognized as a VETS Indexes 4 Star Employer. If any veterans are looking for employment, our agency is certainly a great place to look.”
