Your best bet is to go through the main city or county page of each agency. Make it a full time job applying for full time jobs.
A detective I used to work with spends every saturday testing for jobs since he just moved out of state. It takes time and effort to get the best positions available.

Thanks for the replies. I've just got a callback from a county I applied with and I'm assuming it's for a jailer position. I'm not picky and I just want a job so whoever says "your hired" first is who I will work for. Then after I get some income I can apply with other deptments and go through the long hiring processes. Right now I cannot afford to go through the processes.

Thanks man. This week is CID and tomorrow we are going to be lifting finger prints off various items. Our last week will be nothing but review for the state test I'll take on June 3rd.

Also keep a copy of every application.
It makes filling out the next ones MUCH easier and referring to the earlier ones can keep you from creating inconsistencies if you're in a hurry or don't remember something.

I plan on scanning the personal history statements this time. Seems a lot of the smaller departments use the generic 32 page history and don't mind if you type it. I will scan them and it will make the process much easier.
