Police Officer Recruitment Process

Candidates meeting minimum requirements will be asked to complete an online test and will be invited to the PD Staff interviews

Candidates that score 140 points between the written test and Oral Interview will be placed on an Eligibility List (each % score = one point)  Example:  60% on written and 90% on interview = 150 points.

Any hired candidate who will be attending the Academy will need to pass the Physical Readiness test, see this video for details - https://vimeo.com/195826724

*Sun Prairie has a lateral entry program where experienced officers may be eligible for higher starting pay and accelerated vacation.  Please contact the HR Department for more detail.
