I have been very fortunate to have been hired at the KCSO and have worked my whole adult life here. I consider the department to be family, because family is what the Sheriff’s Office is to me! 

I get to work with the elderly and children in our community! I truly love every job that I’ve ever worked here! It’s not only given me a career but pride in what I do! 

LEIDS John
Lieutenant John Rader

Support Services Unit

I had always wanted a career in law enforcement.  During my final year at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, I applied for a civilian position in the Support Services Unit of the Knox County Sheriff’s Office as I wanted to gain some local experience, with the ultimate goal being federal law enforcement.  After over 20 years, I am still here.  I saw very quickly that KCSO was a premier law enforcement agency, having the resources and tools many agencies cannot afford.  After a couple of years, I attended the KCSO Training Academy becoming a certified law enforcement officer. Also, as a lifelong Knox County resident, I have felt a great amount of pride working to keep my hometown safe.
