Hiring outline

1. Register with City Clerk for announced civil-service exam; advance through written/fitness testing, background, panel, psychological, polygraph and medical/drug assessments. Employer explicitly says elements need not follow listed order; conditional-offer placement unverified. Interest registration before announcement is not a submitted exam application.

Physical testing

Published local minimums: twenty-eight sit-ups and eighteen push-ups, each within one minute, plus 1.5 miles within 14:36; all three must pass. City allows fitness before written despite usual written-first description. Confirm current cycle protocol rather than treating this as a statewide guarantee.

Benefits

Health insurance and post-probation leave advertised; academy compensation and sponsorship terms unverified.

Hiring incentives

Department advertises $10,000 for WV-certified officers; confirm current terms and repayment conditions, not an uncertified-recruit promise.

West Virginia municipal agency, not Fairmont Minnesota or Marion sheriff. Department's accepting-applications language accompanies September 22, 2026 deadline and September 23 exam, both passed. No current vacancy, future test date, recruitAnnual or JobPosting inferred.
