Following the Oral Board Interviews, the Division Commander orders background investigations to be conducted.

The Linn County Sheriff's Office is interested in hiring only persons of the highest ethical caliber. The background investigation is one of the tools we use to ensure this happens. We need to learn about your values, your habits, and your history to make sure we hire only the best of the best.

The duration of the background investigation is different in every circumstance. Like every other part of the hire process, the best thing you can do is to be open, honest, and to be yourself.
