You may schedule your testing by going to the NTN website: ********************************************************************************************** Candidates do not have to wait to be notified to complete the tests.

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. RECRUITING QUESTIONS? Lindsay White, Recruiter ***********************
