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 Cadet.

After successfully passing the written exam, your name will be placed on an eligibility list according to how well you score.  The higher you score, the higher you will be placed on the eligibility list.  If your name is selected from our list you will receive an invitation to the background orientation via mail. 

Applicants may begin completing the PHS early.

PLEASE READ:

• Access to the online PHS requires a password, which will be given to you in your certification/pre-screen notice. 
• The password has changed recently.  The last two letters are now lowercase.
• Please DO NOT BRING your pre-filled PHS to your background pre-screen, it will not be accepted!
• This is a large file. If you experience difficulty completing the PHS on the computer, a hard copy will be provided to you during your Pre-Screen appointment."
