Frostburg City Police Department

Partial profile reviewed 2026-10-25. Not proof of an opening.

Minimum requirements

• The source requires age 21 upon completion of the police academy. It does not place that milestone at application. Confirm the intended cohort and current appointment rules with recruitment.
• Listed basic qualifications include a high-school diploma, good moral character and community reputation, no disqualifying criminal record, a valid driver's license and medical capability for job duties. The overview does not establish a college-degree or prior police, military or paid-work prerequisite.
• Applicants must meet Maryland Police Training and Standards Commission certification standards. The statement that all sworn officers are certified does not mean every applicant must already hold certification. Complete current disqualifiers and state rules were not reviewed; this summary is not an individual eligibility decision.

Selected requirements, not a complete eligibility or disqualifier checklist.

Lateral entry

The overview mentions that certified officers may receive a physical-test waiver. It does not establish a separate current lateral vacancy, experience minimum, automatic interstate certification recognition, academy exemption, pay credit or waived background and clinical screening. Obtain current certified-applicant instructions directly.

Hiring outline

1. Submit an online application through the Job Opportunities link on the official recruiting page. The employer explicitly says applications submitted on third-party websites will not be received. The actual portal and packet were not inspected; use the employer's current link and confirm required attachments.
2. The listed next step is a pre-interview physical fitness test, followed by an oral interview panel. Fitness may be waived for certified officers; the wording does not promise an automatic exemption.
3. The overview then lists a thorough background investigation, polygraph/truth verification, psychological testing and medical examination and clearance, in that order. It does not establish exact scheduling, conditional-offer timing, retest policy or the accuracy of a truth-verification method.
4. Final review is by the Chief, Commissioner and Administrator. Completing the phases does not guarantee appointment, a start date or a specialty assignment. The department describes community policing and general patrol duties; collateral duties are assigned by leadership.

Physical testing

A pre-interview physical fitness test is explicitly listed, and a linked PT Test Requirements document supplies additional information. That document was not inspected, so no events, numeric cutoffs, timing, scoring, retest or accommodation policy is asserted. A possible certified-officer waiver is discretionary and must be confirmed. Medical capability and the later medical examination are separate from a scored fitness test. No numerical fitness preset is created.
