Hiring Process
Candidates who meet the minimum qualifications are required to take a Civil Service examination. Candidates who pass will be placed on an eligible list and may be canvassed by mail. In the pre-employment process candidates will undergo a State and national criminal history background investigation which will include a fingerprint check to determine suitability for employment, a medical evaluation, and a drug test. A psychological evaluation will also be administered prior to any formal offer of employment or appointment as an employee at the 911 Center. Those hired are chosen from the candidates who have successfully completed all stages. Candidates remaining on the eligible list may be canvassed at a future date as vacancies occur. We offer continuous recruitment.
We're always looking for good people. If you're interested, please visit the City's employment page to see what opportunities are available.
