After successfully passing the written exam for Deputy Sheriff Detentions/Courts or Deputy Sheriff Law Enforcement, candidates will receive a notification of their score via e-mail. At the time of receiving your passing score, you will also be able to schedule your Pre-Investigative Questionnaire Orientation (PIQ). IF you pass PIQ, you will be assigned a background investigator with instructions on how to contact him or her, along with a Personal History Statement Packet (PHS) to fill out . Your background investigator will then be your main point-of-contact throughout the remainder of the hiring process. He or She will schedule the remainder of interviews/appointments for you. We hope to see you there!
