Commission hears update on hiring exam: 22 passed, several withdrawals reported
Summary
Commission staff reported 22 candidates passed the Jan. 2026 written exam and were asked to submit background packets; Thomas Young said he believed about four withdrawals had occurred, with at least one not yet official. The commission expects to resume the process next month.
The Berkeley County Deputy Sheriff Civil Service Commission reviewed results from the January 2026 applicant exam and heard staff updates about candidate withdrawals.
Commission staff reported that 22 applicants passed the written exam and were instructed to submit background packets. Staff noted two withdrawals were known at the time the results were reported. Thomas Young — identified by name in the transcript — told the commission he had been occupied with protest-related matters and had not brought detailed numbers to the meeting, but he said he believed there were about four withdrawals, one of which was not yet official.
Commission members agreed to continue processing backgrounds and anticipated being ready to resume actionable steps at the next monthly meeting, scheduled for March 18, 2026.
The exchange left the exact number of final withdrawals unclear in the record; the commission indicated it would continue background checks and reconvene on the hiring timetable next month.
