Department recruiting body sequences application to an officer opening, recruiting-lieutenant phone interview, five-officer board, polygraph, medical/background and chief meeting. Equipment is described as city-provided, while tuition reimbursement is not a novice academy sponsorship promise. Posted compensation has no effective date or explicit pay period in the retrieved text, so no current annual base adopted.
