Minimum requirements

  • The applicant introduction lists minimum age 21 for sworn positions and 20 for civilian positions, plus a high-school diploma or GED. These are the site's published minimums, not independent confirmation of every current role or state appointment requirement.
  • A valid Georgia driver's license is required as applicable by law. The overview does not resolve every role's license class, residency, citizenship or certification requirements; request the current position description.
  • An honorable discharge is required if the applicant has prior military service, and proof of Selective Service registration is requested if applicable. Neither statement requires applicants to have served in the military. No universal prior police employment requirement was verified in the introduction.
  • The introduction excludes adverse driving records, felony convictions and misdemeanors showing a pattern of disregard for law and order. Definitions, lookback periods, adjudication treatment and the complete disqualifier policy are unverified; do not infer specific time limits or eligibility decisions.
  • Applications must be complete and accurate; the page says incomplete applications will not be considered. Reasonable accommodation can be requested for participation in selection. The printable packet, later application steps and their detailed notices were not reviewed or completed.

Selected requirements, not a complete eligibility or disqualifier checklist.

Lateral entry

The public introduction does not establish a lateral hiring track, out-of-state POST recognition, academy waiver, prior-service salary credit or guaranteed assignment. Confirm any experience or certification route against a current deputy requisition rather than assuming the general application covers it.

Hiring outline

  1. Choose the actual role and confirm current openings and requirements. The agency says it continually accepts applications, but only contacts qualified applicants when an opening exists for the position sought; this is not a guaranteed vacancy, interview or response.
  2. Follow the official employment page's online application or printable application link. The public introduction was reviewed; no applicant information was entered, downloaded packet reviewed, or application submitted.
  3. Keep track of the submission date. The published policy keeps applications active for six months, after which a new employment application must be submitted to remain active. This is an application-retention period, not a job closing deadline or a promise to hire within six months.
  4. The introduction names an intensive background investigation, polygraph examination and oral interview. It does not establish their complete chronological order, all testing steps, scoring criteria or response times. Obtain the current instructions for the actual role.
  5. Medical examination and drug screening are described following a conditional job offer. That post-offer relationship is explicit; no other sequence, final appointment guarantee or clinical standard is inferred.

Physical testing

The source identifies a post-conditional-offer medical examination and drug screen. These are not numerical physical-agility standards. Running distances, repetitions, time limits, scoring categories, retest policy and any separate applicant fitness course were not verified. Obtain current role-specific instructions; no automatic fitness preset or individualized exercise prescription is supplied.
