FAQs

What is the purpose of the Title 15 Basic Knowledge Test in this binder?

It tests general working knowledge of Title 15 guidelines for the minimum standards of adult local detention facilities. Questions assess both rule understanding and ability to recall details.

Why does the binder warn not to use radio codes when speaking with citizens or other agencies?

Because citizens and other agencies may not recognize the codes and may interpret them differently than Placer County’s everyday use.

How does the General Order PERS 3 test define sexual harassment and what does the policy require?

It frames sexual harassment as discrimination that violates state or federal law and may include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or verbal/physical sexual conduct. Employees are responsible for knowing and following the policy, and retaliation for a complaint is marked as not acceptable.
