I.Police Jobs- Application Process

What follows is an overview of the police job application process. Over time I will comment on each one of these in more detail.

A. Gather your documents

Have everything at your fingertips before you begin filling out the application. Examples of items that you will need:

Valid drivers license, vehicles registration, Selective Service Number (male applicants only), Educational information, credit reports, employment history, references, outside awards or recognition, etc.

B. Read AND follow instructions

Don’t get disqualified because you did not read the instructions.In many agencies this is actually a test designed to see if you can follow instructions

C. Take your Time

Judgments are made about you based upon the completeness of your answers. Don’t ever, ever be dishonest-tarnish your integrity and no recruiter is going to hire you.
