Hiring outline

  1. City describes both state civil-service examination and alternative local-register consideration. The computer/proctored exam covers written ability, life experience and work styles; the next exam date is unannounced on this page.
  2. Local-register submission is for future consideration when vacancies arise. Its qualifying routes include future approved-academy completion, recent civil-service pass, current Massachusetts certified police service, recent approved-academy graduation or an academy waiver. Confirm which route fits; prior police employment is not required for every route.
  3. Register form offers résumé and cover-letter uploads and authorizes background investigation. Full department interview, clinical screening and academy sequence remain unverified.
