We have a program for you!
The Port
Townsend Police Department Reserve Officer program is designed to
train civilians at becoming a
police officer with the
police department. You will augment the current staff, and assist
with many other exciting duties. You will learn to work hand in hand
with the City of Port Townsend and Jefferson County Prosecutors
Office.
Reserve
Officers are used in a variety of assignments, from drug
interdiction to bike patrol.
We are
looking for qualified applicants with the listed requirements:
-
You must be at least 21 years of age.
-
You must possess a valid Washington
State Drivers License.
-
You must be a high school graduate.
-
You must not have an arrest record.
You will
be required to complete an application for employment for the City
of Port Townsend. Once this is complete and handed in, you will be
notified of a testing date (Usually in September or October). Before
being given an appointment to an academy class, you will be required
to complete an oral interview, a physical agility test, a written
test, a polygraph test, and if deemed necessary a medical and or
psychological exam.
If you
are successful at completing the tests, you will be given an
appointment to the Reserve Academy. This will require a tremendous
amount of commitment on your part. The academy is 16 weeks long, and attendance is
MANDATORY. (Tuesday and Thursday evenings and all day Saturday)
This is
an excellent opportunity for anyone who is seeking a career in law
enforcement or who is civic minded and wants to help their
community.
If you
are interested, call me.
