If you’re looking for a way to serve your community in DeKalb County, ink out some time this Saturday to attend a job fair for a wide range of public safety jobs.

Representatives from DeKalb police, DeKalb fire and the DeKalb Sheriff’s Office will be on hand Jan. 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the job fair. Various units from each agency will be on display. The event will be held at the DeKalb police and fire headquarters at 1960 West Exchange Place in Tucker.

The fire department announced recently that applications are now open for the next class of firefighters.

Prospective applicants are likely to be encouraged by county CEO Michael Thurmond's proposed 2020 budget, which includes a 4% pay increase for all public safety employees. The budget is set to be debated and approved next month by DeKalb commissioners.
