SDPD recruiting

Hiring outline

1. Apply through City Personnel for Police Recruit (entry-level), Police Officer I, or Police Officer II. Application approval takes about three weeks according to the department's recruiting page.
2. Complete the pass/fail written examination and pass/fail physical performance test, unless the City approves a listed waiver. Complete the pre-investigative questionnaire and, if selected, a personal history statement.
3. The department draws from a two-year eligibility list to invite selected candidates to continue through background investigation, polygraph, appointing-authority interview, psychological evaluation, and medical evaluation. Out-of-town testing may combine the written test, PAT, and questionnaire over two days for candidates living more than 100 miles away.

Physical testing

The recruit performance test is pass/fail and includes a 99-yard obstacle course, 6-foot chain-link fence, 6-foot solid fence, partial lift and drag of a 150-pound simulated victim, and a 500-yard run (always last). A qualifying California POST WSTB score of 384 or higher within six months may be considered for a waiver; City approval is case by case.

Benefits

The City states recruits are paid employees while attending the six-month regional academy. Benefits and salary are subject to labor agreements; confirm current details in the City notice and salary schedule.

Minimum requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent, valid California driver's license, and POST-certified training including a Basic Course Certificate are listed.

• Announcement places age21 by sworn appointment, criminal-history standards, good character, background, fingerprint/records, medical and psychological screening under a Preferred Qualifications heading referring to minimum candidate standards. Do not assume legally required screening is optional because of that heading; this is not an individualized eligibility assessment.
• The posting's citizenship paragraph says U.S. citizen or permanent resident applying for citizenship within three years, while its later eligibility paragraph says citizenship or authorization to work in the United States. These statements require employer clarification against current requirements; Enter Prepared does not resolve the inconsistency or decide eligibility.
