body
Financial Impact:
The funding was budgeted for FY 2025/26 in the Sheriff’s Professional Services account 2027-53230.
Background Information:
Employers Investigative Services (EIS) provides pre-employment background investigations services for qualified applicants applying for the Sheriff’s Office. The Sheriff's Office has successfully recruited three additional Extra-Help Detective-Investigators, to optimize cost savings. The Extra-Help Detective-Investigators will primarily be completing the pre-employment background investigations. EIS’s services will only be used when the Sheriff Office’s Extra Help Detective-Investigators are unable to complete the pre-employment background investigations when caseload volumes are high and do not allow for an investigation to be completed in a timely manner. It is essential the pre-employment backgrounds investigations are completed in a timely manner to ensure Tehama County does not lose out on qualified talent. EIS will only be used as a last resort.
