Hiring outline

  1. Review qualifications and confirm accepted written scores before applying through GovernmentJobs with questionnaires and supporting records.
  2. Personal-history screening and oral boards lead to an eligibility list; selected candidates proceed to background/polygraph review.
  3. Conditional employment requires medical and psychological screening and fingerprint checks before academy and field training.

Physical testing

The preparation page describes WSTB obstacle, dummy-drag, fence/wall and sprint events, plus a 1.5-mile run within 14 minutes. It gives a WSTB minimum of 320 and one-year result validity. Confirm current requirements directly before paying for or scheduling testing.

Benefits

Needs confirmation

Hiring incentives

Availability and terms need confirmation.

The entry page mentions PELLET-B or NTN while the test-prep page describes PELLET-B alone; confirm accepted options. Salary headlines differ and do not establish academy starting base, so no pay comparison is published. Entry trainees are non-sworn until academy graduation. Full eligibility and a live opening remain unverified.
