The hiring process begins with an online application. Once the online application is accepted, the applicant must take a written test, which is made up of basic reading, writing, arithmetic and problem solving multiple choice questions. The next step is an oral panel interview. Upon successful completion, a background investigation is done. The background process involves an extensive written background packet, a background oral interview and a polygraph examination. Criminal records, driving history and credit checks are also reviewed. Lastly, a medical and psychological exam is administered for sworn positions.
