Partial profile reviewed 2026-10-24. Not proof of an opening.

Minimum requirements

  • Position specifications list age 21 by the POPS testing date, U.S. citizenship, a valid motor-vehicle driver license, diploma/GED, and positive community/interpersonal/employment records. Source also lists Selective Service registration for male applicants aged 18–26 and felony/domestic-violence conviction restrictions. This older employer summary is not independent verification of complete current legal eligibility.
  • No law-enforcement experience is required. College, military and prior policing are welcomed, not prerequisites. The document describes basic and field training or valid POPS/POST certification; do not interpret experienced-route certification as mandatory before a novice applies.

Selected requirements, not a complete eligibility or disqualifier checklist.

Lateral entry

Hiring page advertises up to five years of salary credit for lateral police officers. Current qualifying service, certification recognition, amount and waivers remain unverified; no automatic reciprocity or guaranteed maximum credit assumed.

  1. Use the university Human Resources application route linked from the police hiring page. The external application provider was not requested; current requisition, filing deadline, documents and any fees remain unverified.
  2. Complete the employer's POPS suitability testing. The qualifications document does not establish a full written/interview/background/medical sequence; do not invent an ordered process from generic statewide assumptions.
  3. Confirm current basic/field training arrangements with the employer. The source does not establish academy duration, paid tuition, wages during academy or repayment-free sponsorship.
