Committee extends deputy eligibility lists as sheriff’s office completes hiring steps
Loading...
Summary
The committee approved extensions of the deputy 1 and deputy 2 eligibility lists to allow the sheriff’s office additional time to complete background checks and hiring approvals.
The Government Operations Committee voted March 11 to extend both the deputy‑1 (D‑1) and deputy‑2 (D‑2) eligibility lists used by the sheriff’s office to fill vacancies.
Human Resources staff said the county’s merit rules allow eligibility lists to remain valid for six months; the D‑2 list was set to expire March 17 and the D‑1 list was scheduled to expire April 8. HR staff told the committee that hiring for sheriff’s office positions includes interviews, multiple internal approvals and background investigations that can take several weeks to complete, and requested extensions so hiring can proceed without restarting the recruitment process.
The committee recommended the extensions to the full board; the committee recorded no objections and the measure was forwarded for formal approval.
