Who We Represent
Lodge 3 is the exclusive bargaining representative for the employees of the Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office and the Emergency Communications Center, and it has been at the table with the County for more than forty years.
Law Enforcement Sworn
Deputies, sergeants, lieutenants and captains of the Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office.
Law Enforcement Non‑Sworn
Civilian staff across administration, evidence and property, court services, entry security, civil process, crime analysis, information systems, nursing, and the officers, supervisors and support staff of the Juvenile Justice Center.
Communications and 911
Call takers, telecommunicators, senior and lead telecommunicators and administrative specialists at the Emergency Communications Center.
Member Benefits
Dues are a percentage of base wage, taken by payroll deduction, and they buy a contract, a lawyer and a benefit package that no individual employee could negotiate alone.
A Contract That Holds
Three collective bargaining agreements, negotiated by members who do the job, covering wages and steps, overtime, shift differential, leave, discipline, seniority and retiree health.
Legal Defense
Designated labor counsel and representation in internal investigations, pre-discipline meetings, grievances and appeals, at no cost to the member.
$15,000 Life and AD&D
Term life and accidental death coverage for every member, with the premium paid in full by the Lodge.
Scholarships
Awards for members’ children and stepchildren at colleges, universities, trade and technical schools and registered apprenticeships.
Sheriff’s Employee Sick Bank
Hours to draw on when your own sick and comp time runs out during a long illness or injury, open to eligible Sheriff’s Office employees.
Brotherhood and Sisterhood
Family events through the year, recognition when a member retires, and people who show up when a member or a member’s family needs it.
Contracts and By-Laws
All three collective bargaining agreements, the full wage scales and the Lodge Constitution and By-Laws, published in plain searchable text rather than scanned pages.
Hire Off-Duty Deputies
The Lodge coordinates off-duty security and traffic work for certified, uniformed Sarpy County deputies, and handles the scheduling so you deal with one point of contact instead of a dozen. Our members work events, construction and traffic control, retail and property security, schools, churches and private functions, and they arrive as sworn law enforcement with full authority, not as observers.
- Certified, uniformed deputies in a marked capacity, with the Sheriff’s approval in place
- One request, one invoice, scheduling handled by the Lodge
- Short-notice and recurring coverage, days, nights and weekends
Send the date, location, hours and what you need covered to hire@sarpyfop.com and we will come back with availability and rates.
In the Community
Lodge 3 members put their own time and the Lodge’s money back into the county they serve, year after year, and most of it happens without a press release.
Shop with a Sheriff
Deputies take Sarpy County kids holiday shopping, one on one, so a hard year still ends with something under the tree.
Back to School Bash
Lodge support for the annual event that sends local kids into the school year with supplies, a backpack and a good morning.
Giving Back Locally
Donations to community-bettering non-profits, including Lift-Up Sarpy County, the Cpl. Daegan Page Memorial Golf Tournament, the PLCS Foundation and many others.
