The
physical fitness assessment consists of a 1.5 mile run, push-ups and sit-ups. You must be able to complete at least 25 push-ups and 29 sit-ups within one (1) minute, and complete the 1.5 mile run in under 14:30 minutes without stopping or walking any portion.
Candidates are invited to a series of written examinations consisting of a multiple choice test, spelling test, writing exercise, and an aptitude test.
Selected candidates will be invited to an oral board examination and may proceed to a background investigation and polygraph. The polygraph will focus on criminal activity; drug use/trafficking; honesty; misconduct in previous law enforcement positions; discharge from the military service for other than honorable conditions; and falsification of any information provided in the hiring process.
Final candidates may be invited to a psychological examination; pre-employment physical examination and a pre-employment substance abuse screening. Out of State Applicants are responsible for any expenses incurred. However, we try to schedule convenient and efficient testing and examinations to hold travel to a minimum.
