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.

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. RECRUITING QUESTIONS?

Testing 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. Click here to schedule REACT testing (or transfer a score). The passing score for REACT is 65 for each section, including video, reading and count sections. Note: We strongly encourage candidates to complete the Work Attitude Questionnaire available after the REACT test has been completed. Completion of the questionnaire is requested by NTN, but is not required by the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office and will not be used in the testing evaluation at this time. STEP 1: Pass/Fail Minimum Qualifications and REACT Testing Applicants must meet minimum qualifications and pass the REACT written/video testing (passing score is 65 in every section) and transfer their test scores to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office by the close of the recruitment (August 23, 2023). STEP 2: Statement of Personal History & Jail Tour All applicants who meet the minimum qualifications and pass REACT testing MUST submit a Statement of Personal History (SPH). The SPH deadline is September 7, 2023. You will be contacted by the Department of Human Resources after Step 1 and given the instructions on how to complete the SPH document. Additionally, you must go through a jail tour at our facility . Applicants will be scheduled in groups of 5-10 over several dates between August 28th - September 7th.

STEP 3: Department ("in- house") interview, and other post-offer tests Eligible candidates who successfully pass Steps 1 - 2 may be invited to a department ("in- house") interview based on hiring needs. Department interviews will take place any time after the date of September 18, 2023. If a conditional offer is made, candidates must also pass a post-offer job-related physical and psychological evaluation and drug testing for the use of prohibited drugs. BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION: At any time during the application process applicants may have their background packet activated and assigned to a background investigator. PLEASE NOTE: When the Sheriff's Office directs, a background investigator will contact applicants to schedule an INITIAL INTERVIEW. 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. RECRUITING QUESTIONS?
