STEP 3: Statement of Personal History, testing (or proof of degree) and other post-offer tests Those who complete the department interview and are selected to move forward to a background investigation will also be required to complete a thorough Statement of Personal History (SPH) via our online eSOPH system. A deadline will be given at the time you are referred. This is a time intensive document to complete, do not delay in completing this document. Additionally, applicants that are not Oregon DPSST certified must take the REACT written/video test UNLESS possessing proof of a Bachelor's Degree or higher from an accredited institution (proof will be required). We strongly encourage candidates to also complete the Work Attitude Questionnaire and Public Safety Suitability Assessment tests requested by NTN, but the Sheriff's Office does not use it in the testing evaluation at this time. Testing for REACT is available through the National Testing Network (NTN) and can be completed online at home as well as several locations in and out of the state. There is no ORPAT test required. You may schedule your testing by going to the NTN website: https://nationaltestingnetwork.com/ Candidates do not have to wait to be notified to complete the tests. However, only those applicants that move forward to a background investigation will have their scores accepted to continue in the process. Candidates who have a Bachelor's Degree or higher must provide proof in order to bypass the required REACT testing. Proof of degree can be uploaded to the Attachments section of the online application system. If a conditional offer is made, candidates must also pass a post-offer job-related physical and psychological evaluations and drug testing for the use of prohibited drugs. BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION: At any time during the application process applicants may have their background packet activated and assigned to a background investigator. PLEASE NOTE: When the Sheriff's Office directs, a background investigator will contact applicants to schedule an INITIAL INTERVIEW. The INITIAL INTERVIEW will include a meeting with a background investigator to have your photo taken, review the SPH and provide instructions on what documents need to be ordered. Background investigations may run concurrently with other testing processes. Background investigations are comprehensive, therefore they can average six (6) to eight (8) weeks to complete. Delays in processing your background investigation may be caused by not completing all entries, not submitting required documents, or references not responding to an investigator's inquiries. If at any time during the hiring process it is determined by the Sheriff's Office that the candidate does not pass the background investigation the candidate will be notified and the application will be inactivated. This may occur prior to, during, or after any of the testing phases and/or placement on the eligibility register. RECRUITING QUESTIONS?
