IMPORTANCE OF HONESTY STATEMENT
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office is seeking applicants who demonstrate certain characteristics. Honesty is the most
important characteristic you must demonstrate. It is extremely important that you are completely honest in all of your
answers. The importance of honesty as you complete paperwork and during all interviews cannot be
overemphasized. Failure to respond to any question truthfully, whether orally or in writing, will result in
disqualification. Many applicants have been disqualified for dishonesty. While filling out documents, you are
cautioned to take your time, to be thorough, and to be specific in all your answers. If you have any doubt in your mind
concerning a particular question or if you are unsure whether to include certain information, the answer is “Yes”;
include it.
You may think that something you have done will disqualify you from further consideration; it may or may not. What
will certainly disqualify you is lying or distorting the truth.
Applicant's interviews may be recorded.
Applicants should be aware that per Florida Administrative Code 11B-27.0011, titled “Moral Character” that falsifying
an employment application may result in the suspension or revocation of your Florida law enforcement certification,
thereby disqualifying you from employment as a law enforcement/correctional officer within the state of Florida.
