PURPOSE AND USE: The principal purpose of employment application forms is to collect information needed to determine qualifications and suitability of applicants for employment. Your completed application may be used to examine, rate and/or assess your qualifications. It is in your best interest to answer all questions. Omission of an item means you may not receive full consideration for a position in which this information is needed. A false answer to a question in the employment application will be grounds for not employing you or for dismissing you after you begin work. All statements are subject to investigation, including a check of your fingerprints, police records, criminal records, and former employers. All information you give will be considered in reviewing your statement.

After completing and returning the application, you will be notified of a time, date and place where the next civil service test will be given. These tests are given throughout the year. This is a test for employment as a correctional officer. If you are a P.O.S.T. certified officer in the state of Tennessee or another state, you will need to document this in the application. The Greene County Sheriff’s Department hires from the Correctional Officer Division for the Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division.

An interview for employment will be based strictly on your test score(s). This civil service test must be taken in order to be eligible for employment with the Greene County Sheriff's Department.
