I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Collin County Sheriff's Office (McKinney, TX) in Aug 2014
Interview
The interview process was pretty simple and standard first you start out with a application on the county website. Then they will send you a background history statement which you must fill out and submit within 20 days. After that you will have an interview with an investigator and a small written test. And then you will have an interview with a captain or equal level with a walk-through of the jail. If you make it to the last interview with the chief there is a 95% chance that you're going to be given a job offer.

Question 1
Why do you want to get a job as a detention officer ?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Collin County Sheriff's Office (McKinney, TX)
Interview
It took about 10 minutes. All the Major did was read over my application answers and then asked why I had so many tickets when I was in high school. I think all he was looking for was to see if I would lie about anything.
