I understand that in the event this application is incomplete or incorrectly completed and/or copies of the required documentation are not provided with the application, I will not be permitted to take the physical ability test and this will result in discontinuation from the application process.
I acknowledge that after submission of this application, with the Raleigh County Sheriff’s Department, I will be directed to the West Virginia Division of Personnel website to complete a second application.
I understand the commission may require, in connection with this application, such certificates of citizenship, physicians, or others, having pertinent knowledge, as the good of the service may require.
I acknowledge the commission may refuse to examine me, or after examination to certify as eligible, if found to lack any of the established preliminary requirements for the examination or position of deputy sheriff for which I am applying.
I acknowledge that the Civil Service Commission and the Raleigh County Sheriff’s office will obtain all prior records, including school and employment records. By signing below, I give permission for all necessary records to be released to the Raleigh County Deputy Sheriff Civil Service Commission and the Raleigh County Sheriff’s Office.
I attest to the accuracy and truthfulness of the information provided and any misstatement of material facts will be grounds for disqualifying me from further consideration in the selection process, or, if hired, grounds for discharge.
I understand that I must complete (unless exempt) a Physical Ability Standards test where I will be asked to perform the following three tasks: 18 PUSH-UPS IN ONE MINUTE; 28 SIT-UPS IN ONE MINUTE and 1.5 MILE RUN IN 14 MINUTES 36 SECONDS. I understand that I will be given specific instructions in the manner in which these physical tasks are to be performed correctly, as set forth on the Physical Ability Standards form. At any time, I fail any portion of the Physical Ability Standards test I understand that is a total failure of the entire test and my participation ceases at that moment.
I am aware that the physical ability standards test is physically taxing and requires physical effort. I am physically fit to participate in the physical ability test and assume all inherent risks associated with participation, including, but not limited to: falls, contact with other participants, the effects of the weather, including high heat and/ or humidity, and assume all inherent risks for any such injury that may be sustained while participating in this test, i.e.: falls, sprains, strains, joint or back injuries, heart attacks or even death.
I understand that I will be required to sign a Release prior to participating in the physical ability standards test waiving any and all rights and any and all causes of action against the Raleigh County Deputy Sheriff Civil Service Commission, its agents and employees; the Raleigh County Sheriff’s Office, its agents and employees; and the Raleigh County Commission, and its agents and employees for any damages I might claim or demand, on or by reason of any damage, loss or injury, which may heretofore have ensued or which may hereafter ensue arising out of the physical ability test that I will undergo.
