Minimum requirements

  • The overview recommends education and public-contact experience but does not establish a complete minimum-qualification list. Use the specific city announcement; suggested preparation is not proof of required prior police service.

Selected requirements, not a complete eligibility or disqualifier checklist.

Lateral entry

Separate lateral requirements and training arrangements need confirmation.

Recruiting contact

Use the city HR/application link on the department recruiting page.

Hiring outline

  1. Apply through city HR; accepted applicants receive written-exam instructions. Check role-specific certificate and application-cap rules.
  2. Passing officer applicants complete agility testing, then a preliminary interview and personal-history documentation.
  3. Background interview, fingerprinting, polygraph and investigation precede command-staff interview and a conditional offer.
  4. Medical and psychological evaluations precede appointment; entry recruits then attend an academy. Confirm the assigned sequence and current announcement.

Physical testing

Five published events: obstacle course, body drag, chain-link fence, solid fence and 500-yard run. Numerical passing standards are not verified here; this screening is specified for officer applicants, not every civilian role.

Benefits
