As vacancies occur, candidates on the hiring list will be offered employment in order of ranking. The selected candidate will be required to satisfactorily complete a pre-employment physical and state-mandated drug screening.

Vacancies in classifications other than officers are posted and interviewed each time there is a vacancy. The selected candidate will be required to satisfactorily complete a state-mandated drug screening.

A complete criminal history check, current wants and warrants check, and employment history verification is completed on all applicants prior to being offered employment in accordance with state statutes and KDOC policy.
