CCSO: Human Resources

The mission of the Human Resources Division is to provide systems and services to the Sheriff's Office in an effort to attract, retain and motivate quality employees to support the mission of the Sheriff's Office. We value each employee, and strive to treat all employees fairly and equitably. We value the public's trust and strive to maintain a workforce worthy of that trust. We value diversity in developing a workforce that is representative of the people we serve in our community. We value open communications both within the division and with others in the Sheriff's Office.

The Human Resources Division is staffed by five full-time employees. We also utilize three part-time paid by AARP clerks and we also train interns each year. The Division works as a team in performing the following functions, plus other assignments as directed by the Sheriff:

Testing of job candidates

The Sheriff's Office is very selective when it comes to hiring employees. Applicants are carefully screened through a competitive testing process and must pass a thorough background investigation, drug test, psychological test and polygraph prior to hire. Sworn employees and some civilian employees, must also pass a medical examination and a physical agility test. The testing and selection process is managed and administered by the Sheriff's Office Human Resources Staff. Which includes the application processing, background investigation, medical screening and coordinating the final interview and selection of employees. Because we take pride in selecting the very best people we can find, we commit significant resources to the testing and selection process.
