For me it wasn't too bad, the Sheriff and most of the Deputies all knew me growing up. But for anybody else at our office it would be extremely difficult, the Sheriff doesn't bring on anybody he doesn't already know and trust. It might be different for other counties though, I don't really hang out with them too much :P I imagine a bigger county would be a bit more lax. But at a bare minimum I'm sure they'd run you for warrants and check your criminal history along with a drug test.
