The Volusia County Sheriff's Office will incorporate "routine Google-type Internet searches of all would-be deputies as part of the background investigative process" following the recent hiring, and subsequent firing, of a probationary deputy, an official said.Steven Korossy, a former Put-in-Bay, Ohio, police officer, was indicted by a grand jury in that state Wednesday on 14 counts of unauthorized use of the Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway database, a fifth-degree felony, and one count of falsification, a misdemeanor, according to a news release from the Ohio Attorney General's Office.Korossy, wanted on an arrest warrant, had not made contact with Ohio authorities as of Tuesday afternoon, according to the Ohio Attorney General's Office.The second probationary deputy fired this year by Volusia County, Korossy was scheduled to graduate from Volusia County's training program in August, but the 39-year-old, who was hired May 18, was terminated Wednesday from his position as a probationary deputy when news of the indictment made its way to his new employer, according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.The first few results yielded by a Google search of "Steven Korossy," prior to his firing Wednesday, are news articles from the Sandusky Register, dating back to 2014, about alleged misconduct by Korossy, of Brook Park, Ohio, when he worked as a police officer for Put-in-Bay."That's something we should have been doing all along and have now incorporated into all future background checks starting immediately," sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said."Background checks include a variety of inquiries, including employment and discipline checks, criminal history and credit checks, checks of various law enforcement databases, a CVSA (computerized voice stress analyzer) exam, reference checks, interviews with neighbors, on-line searches of social media postings and military checks where applicable," Davidson said.
