A. TESTING PROCESS (Applicant Status)

TRAINING & EXPERIENCE EVALUATION (Eligible List Placement)
The test for placing candidates on the eligible list will consist of an application evaluation and scoring. It is essential that applications include detailed information regarding education, certifications, and experience. Applicants who pass this assessment will move forward to the department assessment process.

B. DEPARTMENT ASSESSMENT PROCESS (Candidate Status)

Candidates should expect a very competitive background and assessment process (with only a percentage of candidates moving forward at each step). Our lateral assessments DO NOT include a Physical Fitness Test.

Typical assessments include:

• Personal History Statement / Background Interview
• Polygraph
• Psychological Suitability Assessment
• Command Staff Interview
• Medical Fit-for-Duty Examination
• Drug Testing / Education & Experience Verification / Fingerprinting

1. Personal History Statement
Candidate information will be forwarded to the department Background Investigation Unit as they are placed on the list. An investigator will email each applicant a Personal History Statement with a deadline for submission. The background unit processes candidates as needed. It is normal to have a wait period of a few weeks before an investigator contacts you.

2. Polygraph Information
The polygraph is by invitation only. A polygraph, popularly referred to as a lie detector, measures and records several physiological indices such as blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and skin conductivity while the candidate is asked and answers a series of questions. If you are scheduled for a polygraph, you will be contacted by our Internal Affairs Division.

3. Psychological Suitability Assessment Information
The Psychological Suitability Assessment is by invitation only and begins with a written psychological assessment. The written assessment typically takes 4-5 hours to complete. Before leaving the test site applicants are scheduled for a 30 minute interview with the psychologist for some time that week. Every effort will be made to schedule the interview the day after the exam for out of state applicants. Applicants should prepare to be flexible with their calendar for the days following the written assessment to accommodate the interview.

4. Command Staff Interview
Candidates who are scheduled for the psychological suitability assessment will be invited to an in-person interview.

Candidate Communication
Email will be the primary communication method during the entire recruitment process. It is a good idea to check your emails regularly while you are active in the process, to include checking your spam or trash folders.
