Burr Ridge Police Department

Partial profile reviewed 2026-10-24. Not proof of an opening.

Minimum requirements

• Employer lists age 21–34 at application, with possible exemptions for qualified military veterans or prior law-enforcement experience. These are conditional exceptions, not universal service/experience requirements; complete current statutory criteria were not independently verified.
• High-school diploma/GED, ability to read/write/speak English and no felony convictions are named. The short overview is not a complete current eligibility/disqualifier checklist; license, work/firearm authorization and other requirements must be confirmed with the actual posting.
• Entry applicants need a valid POWER card at application, with the page tying its age to one year from posting of the final eligibility list. Confirm the exact acceptable dates rather than simplifying that wording to a generic one-year-from-today rule.
• College and military qualifications described under preference points are not minimum education/service requirements. Employer says eligible college points may apply for a criminal-justice associate degree or a bachelor's degree in any field; honorable military-service points require DD214 documentation, only for applicants claiming that preference.

Selected requirements, not a complete eligibility or disqualifier checklist.

Lateral entry

Separate lateral application through village instructions with background-information release and required documents; follow-up is vacancy-dependent. The reviewed page does not establish complete qualifying experience, certification, reciprocity, age-exemption or academy-waiver terms. Do not copy entry-level NTN/POWER wording onto laterals without confirmation.

Recruiting contact

Village-published general non-emergency police office, not a dedicated recruiting phone; recruiting homepage names Detective Weeks for inquiries

Hiring outline

1. Entry-level route: follow the employer's linked entry instructions to NTN, select Burr Ridge, create an applicant account and choose the virtual test date/time. This review did not open or use the provider account or verify current booking availability.
2. Upload required documentation, including the signed background-information release, to the NTN account. Employer says documents/scores are sent to the department, which notifies applicants of additional documents or eligibility for later steps.
3. Lateral route: complete the village application and background-information release with documents required by the applicable listing. Employer says candidates are notified of next steps when vacancies become available; exact lateral experience/certification rules were not fully verified.
4. Published later components include oral interview, background investigation, polygraph, psychological examination and pre-employment physical examination. This is not independent confirmation of every test, exact ordering, conditional-offer timing or current retest rules.

Physical testing

Entry-level applicants are told to hold a valid POWER card at application, dated within one year of the final eligibility-list posting date. Numeric events, thresholds, fees, scheduling, retests and accommodations were not reviewed. A pre-employment physical examination is separately listed; it is not a substitute numeric fitness standard or an inferred lateral POWER requirement. Confirm actual dates and protocols; not individualized training advice.
