Chatham County, acting through the Chatham County Police Department (CCPD) and Chatham County E911 (E911), seeks proposals for pre-employment psychological evaluations of applicants for sworn law-enforcement and emergency communications positions. The evaluations help determine whether candidates with conditional offers are psychologically suited to the essential functions of the position and are one component—not the sole basis—of the County’s hiring process. The County anticipates approximately 30 evaluations annually, but does not guarantee a minimum volume.
This Invitation to Bid (ITB) is for the procurement of Cisco Catalyst 9500 Network Switches and associated networking hardware for the Chatham County Sheriff's Office.
