OTHER INFORMATION
TESTING AND SELECTION PROCESS
STEP 1: Pass/Fail Minimum Qualifications
Applicants must meet minimum qualifications and be certified as a basic police officer for at least eighteen (18) months within the last five (5) years.
STEP 2: Department ("in house") interview
Candidates who successfully pass the minimum qualification screening of step 1 will be invited to a department interview.
STEP 3: Statement of Personal History, testing (or proof of degree) and other post-offer tests
Those who complete the department interview and are selected to move forward to a background investigation will also be required to complete a thorough Statement of Personal History (SPH) via our online eSOPH system. A deadline will be given at the time you are referred. This is a time intensive document to complete, do not delay in completing this document.
Additionally, applicants that are not Oregon DPSST certified must take the Frontline written/video test UNLESS possessing proof of a Bachelor's Degree or higher from an accredited institution (proof will be required). We strongly encourage candidates to also complete the Work Attitude Questionnaire and Public Safety Suitability Assessment tests requested by NTN, but the Sheriff's Office does not use it in the testing evaluation at this time. Testing for Frontline is available through the National Testing Network (NTN) and can be completed online at home as well as several locations in and out of the state.
There is no ORPAT test required at this time.
You may schedule your testing by going to the NTN website: https://nationaltestingnetwork.com/publicsafetyjobs/search.cfm?position=1®ion=all&state=Oregon
Candidates do not have to wait to be notified to complete the tests. However, only those applicants that move forward to a background investigation will have their scores accepted to continue in the process.

At any time during the application process applicants may have their background packet activated and assigned to a background investigator.

The INITIAL INTERVIEW will include a meeting with a background investigator to have your photo taken, review the SPH and provide instructions on what documents need to be ordered.
Background investigations may run concurrently with other testing processes. Background investigations are comprehensive, therefore they can average six (6) to eight (8) weeks to complete. Delays in processing your background investigation may be caused by not completing all entries, not submitting required documents, or references not responding to an investigator's inquiries.
If at any time during the hiring process it is determined by the Sheriff's Office that the candidate does not pass the background investigation the candidate will be notified and the application will be inactivated. This may occur prior to, during, or after any of the testing phases and/or placement on the eligibility register.
