I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ottawa County Sheriff - Ohio (Port Clinton, OH)
Interview
Asked basic scenario questions. They ask why your the best pick for the position. They test your knowledge, weather you are doing a interview from within to a new position, are coming from the basic police academy, or coming from another agency. Or fresh off the street.
