Grayson County Sheriff's Office

1. Applicants must complete a separate application for each position applied for and each time an application is made. We do not maintain prior submitted applications and resumes for consideration for currently posted positions. 2. All fields on any submitted application must be completed. Incomplete, illegible or unsigned applications will not be considered.  3. If your Initial Employment Application is selected to continue to the next step of the application process, you will be contacted by the Sheriff’s Office and requested to submit a Personal History Statement which is available for pick up at the Office of Human Resources.  Due to the high volume of applications we receive, it is not possible to respond to every application; thus, if your application is not selected for interview you will receive no further notice. 4. As part of the application process, you will be required to complete a pre-employment screening process which includes taking and passing a pre-employment drug screen, a driving record check and a complete background investigation to verify the information you provided on the employment application. Omissions, falsifications or misrepresentations will constitute grounds for applicant disqualification or termination of employment if employed at the time of discovery. 5. If offered employment, you will be required to submit acceptable documentation of citizenship or alien status and proof of eligibility to work in the United States. The information you submit will be processed through the E-Verify program of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. 6. When you accept an offer of employment, you inherently agree to comply with all Grayson County policies and procedures as well as any additional policies and procedures adopted by the specific department in which you work. 7.

All applicants are given equal consideration for employment without regard to race/ethnicity, color, religion, gender, ancestry, national origin, age, sexual orientation, marital status, disability or veteran status.
