PERSONAL HISTORY STATEMENT (PHS)

The Sheriff's Department uses a Personal History Statement (PHS) to learn more about its candidates for the position of Deputy Sheriff and/or Deputy Sheriff Detentions/Courts.

After successfully passing the written exam, applicants may begin completing the PHS early. Access to the online PHS requires a password, which will be given to you in your certification/orientation notice.

Applicants must acknowledge that completing a PHS prior to a Pre-screen Night is voluntary and provided to you in the hopes of streamlining the process. A completed PHS will only be accepted during a scheduled appointment with a Background Investigator after the orientation.

For more information please carefully read the first page of the Personal History Statement. If you choose not to complete a PHS prior to being invited to an Orientation Night, you will receive a PHS packet (including labels) from a Background Investigator.
