Alamo Heights Police Department

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

Minimum requirements

• The officer description lists high-school graduation or GED, a valid Texas Class C driver license and a current valid Texas peace officer license, plus meeting the state's minimum licensing requirements. The complete licensing policy and disqualifiers were not independently reviewed.
• The description expects officers to work varying shifts, days off and overtime as required. Listed patrol, testimony, evidence and proficiency duties inform role preparation; they are not a requirement that an applicant has already served in each specialty.
• Confirm current intake, any experience or age requirements, driving-history and criminal-history rules, accommodations and the controlling application packet directly. A general city procedure is not a complete police eligibility decision.

Selected requirements, not a complete eligibility or disqualifier checklist.

Lateral entry

A current Texas peace officer license is listed. No automatic interstate equivalency, seniority credit, salary-step placement, shortened training or funded novice academy route was verified; confirm the applicable classification with the employer.

Recruiting contact

Named officer PHS submission contact in the original description; confirm current instructions

Hiring outline

1. Confirm that the specific officer vacancy remains open. The police gateway accepts applications only for posted vacancies; the general city procedures say applications for unposted positions are not retained. No actual closing date or current vacancy count was verified.
2. The city requires an Employment Application; a résumé may accompany it but does not replace it. The officer description separately directs the TCOLE Personal History Statement to cpruitt@alamoheightstx.gov. Confirm how those submissions fit the current police application instructions; the linked third-party jobs service and form bodies were not reviewed or submitted.
3. Under general city procedures, qualified applications go to the hiring authority, which selects applicants to contact for interview. For interviewed applicants still under consideration, the city describes work-reference and criminal-background checks, plus driver-license checks for driving positions. This is not a verified police oral-board format, written test or full investigative sequence.
4. The general procedure describes a conditional offer followed by physician examination and drug screening, then says HR schedules a drug screen and a physical for some positions after offer acceptance. Functional testing applies to positions with physical requirements. Confirm the police-specific timing, test content and any additional psychological, polygraph or other stages rather than assuming this general summary is exhaustive.

Physical testing

The officer description lists physical and operational job demands and maintaining department fitness/proficiency. General city procedures mention functional testing for positions with physical requirements. Neither reviewed page establishes scored police applicant events, distances, repetitions, time limits, sequence, attempts or retest rules. No numerical fitness preset or individualized training advice is supplied.

Benefits

Needs confirmation

Hiring incentives

Availability and terms need confirmation.

Partial guide independently summarizes the officer description and distinguishes general city procedures from unverified police-specific additions. The undated salary range has no explicit pay period or effective date, so it is not normalized to annual recruit pay or used in salary rankings. No current vacancy, invented deadline, full screening guarantee, academy funding, benefit entitlement or JobPosting data. Actual forms and third-party requisitions remain unreviewed. No employer endorsement, account, consent, application or outreach.

No test preset is imported from this profile. Bring current employer instructions to your preparation.
