We are also excited to share that we recently updated the hiring process to increase the number of applicants by:
• Allowing Lateral Transfers and state certified Peace Officers, Police Officers, Troopers, or equivalent to apply directly WITHOUT being required to take a written or physical fitness test.
• Allowing Lateral Transfer candidates, the ability to receive prior service credits which allow the candidate to start at a higher pay step and vacation accrual rate than a standard new hire.
• Allowing candidates with current or prior military service and/or state law enforcement certification to apply WITHOUT requiring prior college credits.
• Raising the maximum age from 34 years of age to 40 years of age (candidates must not have attained the age of 41 prior to original appointment to the police division)
