Applicant Seminar

The Police Department and Human Resources are offering an Applicant Seminar to anyone interested in learning more about our Police Officer and Communications Officer positions. The application process for these positions is very detail oriented and often the lack of pertinent information on an application hinders candidates in successfully reaching the interview part of the hiring process.

The seminar will be held in 153 Southgate:

  • Wednesday, February 23rd at 12 noon
  • Thursday, February 24th at 5:30 p.m.

We will discuss specifics about the positions, how to apply, tips on completing the online application, discussion about the level of detail needed on the application/resume, and the selection process (including the POST test for Officer applicants) and answer any questions you may have.

Please RSVP if you plan to attend by calling 540-231-9331.
