Dear Prospective
Confinement Officer Applicant:
In an effort to expand our
recruitment outreach and to add yet another element in our selection process to
ensure that we continually and consistently hire and retain qualified,
professionally-minded individuals to serve as confinement officers, the
Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office joined an expanding number of other Indiana
sheriffs’ offices by contracting with EMPCO to provide a pre-employment
examination for prospective jail/confinement officers.
Effective November 29,
2010, if you wish to be considered for future employment with the Vanderburgh
County Sheriff’s Office (VCSO), as a confinement officer, you must first
register to take the written exam. Please visit the following site and follow
the directions:
https://www.empco.net/ind Ivy Tech will serve as the test administration
site.
Please note there will be a
fee associated with taking this exam. Be sure to carefully read the instructions
and the FAQ page posted on the above website.
Periodically, as the need
arises, the Sheriff and his Executive Team will review the on-line pool of
eligible candidates who have taken and passed the exam and who we have
determined meet our employment requirements. Those applicants will then be
invited to submit an employment application and undergo a subsequent interview.
Applications will not be accepted from applicants who have not taken this exam.
Each sheriff’s office may
have slightly different employment requirements and disqualifiers. Be sure to
research this information before registering. For a complete list of our
Requirements, Disqualifiers and Benefits click

If you have questions,
please contact our Administration Division commander, Major John Strange, by
voice at 421-6203 or by email at:

Thank you for your interest
in career opportunities with the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office.
Sincerely,
Eric R. Williams
Sheriff of
