Supplemental Questionnaire

2023-12354-01

Part I - Conviction Questionnaire (Not Scored)

Questions in this section will be used as a screening tool only and will not be scored.

Have you been convicted of a crime?

Conviction of a crime is not necessarily a bar to employment. Each case is considered separately based on job requirements.

You must disclose convictions, including reckless and drunk driving convictions, even if:

• It happened a long time ago;
• It was only a misdemeanor;
• You didn’t have to go to court (your attorney went for you);
• You had no jail time or the sentence was only a fine or probation 

You may OMIT:   

• Minor traffic violations;
• An arrest or detention that did not result in a conviction (Labor Code section 432.7);
• An arrest, detention, processing, diversion, supervision, adjudication, or court disposition that occurred while you were subject to the process and jurisdiction of the juvenile court;
• A conviction that has been judicially dismissed or ordered sealed, expunged, or statutorily eradicated pursuant to law (e.g. juvenile offense records sealed pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 389 and Penal Code sections 851.7 or 1203.45);
• A non-felony conviction for possession of marijuana that is two or more years old (Labor Code section 432.8)

If YES, state: 1) date, 2) charge, 3) place, 4) court, and 5) action taken in the space below.

If NO, please enter N/A.

Part II - Department Preference (Not Scored)

Part II of the questionnaire will not be rated but will be screened for Department Preference. Please check the appropriate box for each department/division you are interested in. You may select more than one.

SHERIFF'S OFFICE: The Sheriff's Office safeguards individual liberties, builds community partnerships, prevents crime, and resolves those crimes that do occur. The Sheriff's Office is also responsible for the professional care and custody of those confined within the County's jail facilities.

PROBATION DEPARTMENT: Positions for the Probation Department may be located at one of several locations in Auburn and Roseville. All Probation clerical positions rotate on an every 2-3 year basis.
