- OVERVIEW
- Lateral Transfer Application
- Supplemental Questionnaire
- Conditional Offer
The first phase of the Los Santos Sheriff's Department's Lateral Transfer Process is the Application for Lateral Transfer. This application is sent to Personnel Administration and starts the competitive lateral entry process.
(( Initiating the process does not guarantee any offer of invitation. As each transfer opening inherently seeks to fill slots, it will be a competitive process. People interested in joining the Sheriff's Department may better be served by entering through our recruitment process unless they feel they have something to offer the faction.
Each step is conducted exclusively through private messaging. Only Executive Staff, Command Staff, and individuals informed by the candidate are made aware of their intention to transfer. It is strongly advised that the candidate informs their faction leadership of their intent to transfer prior to initiating the transfer process, as an unexpected resignation may lead to frustration and potential conflict. It is important to note that our faction is unable to address any issues the candidate may have in their current faction.
SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONNAIRE
After a preliminary records check into a candidate's employment history as a law enforcement officer, the applicant is evaluated based upon their fitness for the position of a Los Santos County Sheriff's Deputy. Due to the competitiveness of this process, applicants with solid employment histories and work ethics will only be considered.
(( This phase includes a rigorous OOC mindset test used to establish a player's motive in joining the faction and their mannerisms/style of roleplay. As our faction's goal is to provide an environment conducive to good roleplay for all players, players who have the wrong mindset will be weeded out through this questionnaire. This questionnaire is in fact the same one as for recruits. Based upon the answers to this test, a candidate is either deferred or inducted. Candidates who are deferred are welcome to try again next time there are vacancies. ))
CONDITIONAL OFFER
After supplementary questions have been answered to a satisfactory degree, the candidate is offered conditional employment contingent upon a psychological and medical check.
(( Please note that there are never any guaranteed "equivalencies" between ranks for transfers, and there is no established pattern for transferring in from a high rank. It is obviously impossible for a Police Officer II to be offered any position outside of Deputy Sheriff. Outside of special circumstances (such as important vacancies or manpower shortages), it is unlikely you will be offered any position outside of Deputy Sheriff in general. ))
- GENERAL INFORMATION
- It is your responsibility to complete this form and provide all required information.
- This document must be filled out electronically and printed.
- You must respond to all items and questions. If a question does not apply to you, write "D.N.A." (does not apply) in the space provided for your response.
- Send the completed form to the agency which you are laterally transferring to. Do NOT send the form to POST.
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..
(( Submit the application in a PM to the LSSD: Executive Staff & LSSD: Command Staff usergroup. ))
