Officer recruiting salary FAQ ↗
Researched hiring process & preparation

Partial profile reviewed 2026-10-21. Not proof of an opening.

Minimum requirements

  • Education/experience alternatives differ by route. The officer FAQ lists college study or specified high-school-plus-experience combinations; consult the actual announcement.
  • The scholarship route excludes prior/current academy attendees or graduates and requires age 21 by academy graduation. This is not a complete eligibility checklist.

Selected requirements, not a complete eligibility or disqualifier checklist.

Lateral entry

Separate lateral requirements and training arrangements need confirmation.

Recruiting contact

Police personnel/recruiting

JoinTampaPD@tampa.gov813-276-3429

Hiring outline

  1. Applicants without certification should review the separate scholarship route rather than assume the certified-officer pathway applies.
  2. The scholarship overview describes PAT, phone interview, personal-history questionnaire, panel and polygraph; chief selection precedes psychological, medical, drug and fingerprint checks.
  3. Scholarship selection leads to academy training, the state examination and field training. Confirm current intake and sequencing with personnel.

Physical testing

PAT uses vehicle tasks, running, obstacles, a 150-pound dummy drag and simulated weapon handling. The scholarship page gives both 5:04 and 6:04 limits, while the officer FAQ lists 6:04. The correct threshold for the applicant's route needs confirmation; do not assume either is current.

Benefits

Needs confirmation

Hiring incentives

Availability and terms need confirmation.

Pay is withheld because the recruiting FAQ and city-listed officer announcement disagree. No recruitAnnual comparison rate is assigned. The scholarship overview's October 31, 2025 window is stale; use the separately linked current-list announcement's own dates and terms. Listing discovery alone is not verification of ongoing vacancy availability.
