Drug Use Disqualifiers: Prior drug use does not automatically disqualify a candidate, but it will be a factor in any hiring decision. The weight it is given will depend on the circumstances. Current drug use will disqualify a candidate.
Hiring Process: Candidates must receive an average score of 70% in order to be placed on the eligibility list. The Civil Service Commission will certify the list to the appointing authority. The selection process usually begins with a detailed background check and the completion of a detailed application. Finalists may be interviewed by the appointing authority or a panel of the appointing authority's choosing, to include the Chief of Police. Once a conditional offer of employment is made, the applicant may be required to undergo both physical and mental health examinations, a credit check, and a polygraph or voice stress analyzer test or tests.
