Completed applications will be forwarded to the background investigator who will contact the applicant to arrange for a more extensive questionnaire to be completed by the applicant. After the return of questionnaire, the investigator may contact the applicant for an initial interview. During the interview, the investigator will assure all release documents have been signed to continue with a more extensive background investigation.
The background investigation will be preformed in a thorough and confidential manner to ensure accurate and fair results for both the applicant and the Butler County Sheriff’s Office.
