Current Chattooga County Sheriff's Department personnel interested in being hired into the new administration recently filled out an applications. The applications for consideration were made available by Sheriff-Elect Mark Schrader. They were to have been turned into the County Commissioner's office by November 16. Current Captain with the Sheriff's Department Ken Anderson said most employees have filled out an application to work under the new administration. According to a letter to applicants contained in the 20-page application, Schrader says employment includes a complete background investigation, drug screening, ploygraph testing and in-depth interview. The letter also states that those offered employment will be subject to a 12-month working test period during which performance will be evaluated prior to an offer of continuing employment. Anyone with questions concerning the application are referred to Kevin Woods. While campaigning for office Schrader named Woods his chief deputy. Woods is the only person that has been guaranteed a job within the new administration. Since being elected in November, Schrader has spent most of his time out of town in training.
