Human Resources

The Human Resources Section is responsible for the following areas:

The SBI Hiring Process is designed to select the most qualified candidate for employment for both sworn and non-sworn positions. We strive for an objective and fair process that complies with mandated Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission rules for sworn personnel. This section oversees selection review boards and coordinates all aspects of the selection process. This includes oversight of the background investigation conducted on all SBI Employees, Polygraph Examination, Psychological Testing and Medical Exam including Drug Screen and Physical Fitness Assessment.

The Career Development Program provides agents with promotional guidelines which allow them to advance through their career with the Bureau. This applies to agents I, II, and III. Consideration is given to job performance, training, and time in grade.

Psychological Consulting is a health and safety program that provides assistance to Bureau Agents after traumatic shooting incidents that may effect job performance. A Bureau agent is provided at least a one-hour psychological session with a psychologist retained by the Bureau.

The Medical Program is designed to oversee a prevention and treatment plan for sworn personnel. It attends to the unique medical aspects of our agency and helps to ensure compliance with OSHA requirements as well as state and federal law.
