Applying for a Police Officer position

When applying for a Scottsdale Police Officer position, an online City of Scottsdale application must be submitted to the Human Resources department. 

 Applications are reviewed for minimum qualifications:

    • US Citizen 
    • High School Diploma or GED 
    • 20 years and 6 months at the time of application 
 
Once your application is reviewed for minimum qualifications, you may be invited to the background investigation phase, which includes completing a background questionnaire, background interview, physical fitness and written assessments, and oral board interview. 

The Scottsdale Police Personnel Unit reserves the right to change this process.

*Disclaimer:  The recruitments for the positions of Police Officer Recruit/Trainee and Police Officer Lateral/Waiver are ongoing and will remain open until all positions have been filled.
