- 1 Captain
- 2 Lieutenants
- 5 Sergeants
- 5 Corporals
- 36 Corrections Officers

WASPC Accreditation
In 2021, the Franklin County Corrections Division received accreditation with the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC).
WASPC Corrections Accreditation is a relatively new program and there are very few accredited Corrections Centers in Washington. Receiving accreditation signifies that the policies and procedures of the Franklin County Corrections Center are in compliance with what are considered the best practices in the industry. In 2021, the Corrections Division was one of only seven jails of the 50 in Washington to gain WASPC Accreditation.
