Backgrounds/Recruiting UnitThe Fresno County Sheriff's Department Backgrounds/Recruiting Unit is currently composed of one full-time deputy sheriff, several extra-help employees and one lieutenant. The process of completing a background package on all employees is both extensive and time consuming. It involves a polygraph, medical, and psychological exams. In addition, criminal history, driving history and credit checks are also completed. We strive for the best possible candidates to work alongside us. We are looking for team players who will uphold the department’s mission, vision and values. We want the department to represent the community we work for. The background process can take anywhere from 4 weeks to about 4 months depending upon response times from other governmental agencies (military reports on individuals, DOJ fingerprint checks, etc.). After a thorough background report, the entire package is sent through the chain of command to the Sheriff, who ultimately decides if he wants to hire the applicant. Career openings for our department are posted on the Fresno County website under “employment” and “current recruitments.” You may apply on-line or in person. Some of the positions that our offered through our department are: Deputy Sheriff, Correctional Officer, Community Service Officer, Dispatcher, Office Assistant and Information Technology Analysts (not an all-inclusive list). The specific requirements for each position are posted on the individual job flyers as openings occur. We also participate in job fairs, academy recruitments, and specialty requests to recruit for the positions of Deputy Sheriff and Correctional Officers. Please feel free to contact us at (559) 488-3939 (ask for the Background Unit). |

Information Technology Timely, accessible data is critical to effective law-enforcement. The Information Systems used by the Sheriff’s Department are interdependent and relied upon by all law enforcement staff. Computer Aided Dispatch is a system that allows 911 call-takers to route patrol cars to citizens in need. Automated Field Reporting software allows officers to enter incident information into a database. This incident data is later transferred into the Records Management and Corrections Management Systems, whose function it is to track criminal cases, warrants, and inmates once in custody. Back in the Dispatch Center, information captured by a deputy days, weeks, even years earlier can be relayed to another deputy today to prevent or solve a crime. Geographical Information Systems makes further use of the data to create visual representations used for Crime Mapping, reporting, and analysis. |
