Minimum requirements

  • Investigator description requires a high-school diploma or equivalent and a combination of experience and training equivalent to considerable police-officer experience. This specialty experience requirement is not a universal prerequisite for entry-level applicants to the department.
  • Description lists an Alabama driver license and an insurable driving record, plus basic city police-officer requirements. Those underlying city-code minimums, disqualifiers and certification pathways were not independently verified.
  • Role involves criminal investigations, evidence preservation, interviews, case reports and court testimony, supervised by the chief investigator with operational independence. Biweekly callback duty is described. These are role duties, not instructions to disclose confidential cases.

Selected requirements, not a complete eligibility or disqualifier checklist.

Hiring outline

  1. City accepts applications only for listed open positions, not future opportunities. Reviewed investigator posting offers an online employment application and an Email Resume tool; neither was submitted.
  2. Complete applicant screening order, interview format, written testing and background components remain unverified. Do not assume the duties of conducting background investigations describe the applicant's own screening.
  3. The investigator description requires a physical examination after a position is offered. That establishes a post-offer examination, not an ordered full hiring pipeline or an academy sponsorship commitment.

Physical testing

Post-offer physical examination is stated. Numerical agility events, pass thresholds, medical criteria, accommodations and retest terms remain unverified; no exercise prescription or PAT inferred.
