  4. Hiring Process
    (( Important Note
    The Criminalist position in Sheriff's Department is not a full-time role. This means that most of the work includes conducting laboratory analyses and responding to callouts when requested or paged. While members may still log in-game and go on duty at their own convenience, it is important to understand that there will not always be active requests for forensic expertise. ))

    Disqualification
    The background questions in the Application are utilized to ensure candidates meet the standards of the Los Santos County Sheriff's Department. Candidates who fail any background question(s) will be disqualified from all Los Santos County Sheriff's Department examinations for which they applied, and will have to wait until the next recruitment at minimum to reapply or three weeks from the date of denial if 'open continuous' is ongoing.

    Overview
    1. Application
    2. CSI Exam
    3. Structured Interview
    4. In-service Training
    (( Phases may be skipped at the division's command discrection for former faction members. ))

    CSI Exam
    Candidates who pass the Application will be brought over to one of the Department's facilities to take part in an examination session among other candidates. Passing the CSI Exam may be your first step to becoming a member of the Los Santos County Sheriff’s Department. The exam consists of 20 questions which you are required to answer after reviewing that manual provided to you. If a candidate does not pass the CSI Exam, the candidate must wait three (3) weeks before he/she can reapply.

    Structured Interview
    Candidates who pass the Application will participate in a Structured Interview (SI). The SI evaluates the candidates' experience, problem-solving ability, Department knowledge/interest, interpersonal skills, community involvement & awareness, and communication skills. Candidates will be allowed one (1) opportunity to pass the SI. If a candidate does not pass the SI, the candidate must wait three (3) weeks before he/she can reapply.

    (( The Structured Interview consists of an in-character interview where the candidate must demonstrate their ability to accurately roleplay an interesting character in the US environment through realistic dialogue and interaction. ))

    In-service Training
    Candidates who pass the SI stage will advance to the next phase. Candidates will be trained with a focus on forensics knowledge, and crime scene investigation. All relevant study material will be provided to the candidates.

    (( In-game academies or classes are not held. Instead, we provide candidates access to the Manual of Policy and Procedure (Department Handbook) and Scientific Services Bureau manual. Their characters however would undergo a series of examinations, followed by a mandatory one-year probationary period during which they would be trained on the job in various aspects of forensic science. ))
  5. Application Form
    General Information
    The information you provide in this application will be used in the background investigation to assist in determining your suitability for the position of Criminalist.
    • It is your responsibility to complete this form and provide all required information.
    • This document must be filled out electronically and printed.

    Disqualification
    There are very few automatic bases for rejection. Even issues of prior misconduct, such as prior illegal drug use, driving under the influence, theft, or even arrest or conviction are usually not, in and of themselves, automatically disqualifying. However, deliberate misstatements or omissions can and often will result in your application being rejected, regardless of the nature or reason for the misstatements/omissions. In fact, the number one reason individuals “fail” background investigations is because they deliberately withhold or misrepresent job-relevant information from their prospective employer.
    BOTTOM LINE: You are responsible for providing complete, accurate, and truthful responses.
