Other financial incentives include overtime opportunities, court compensation, educational bonuses, bonus pay for working holidays, and an annual longevity bonus.

Work-life balance is also given due consideration with a 12-hour schedule, relief time, paid vacation, and sick leave. The department also provides college tuition reimbursement and offers a retirement investment opportunity through a 457 program.

Comprehensive insurance coverage, including medical, dental, and life insurance, will be provided. A pension scheme is also in place, available after 25 years of service and reaching a minimum age of 55.
