Here is a short recruitment video and a press release announcing the many recruitment initiatives we have begun this year: MEDIA RELEASE: The Elgin Police Department is now accepting applications for employment for police officers. Qualified applicants must be a U.S. Citizen or lawfully able to work in the U.S., 21 years-of-age, possess a valid driver’s license and a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university. There is an exception to the bachelor’s degree requirement for candidates with three years of full-time police experience, or three years of active duty military experience; those who meet these requirements need only 60 hours of college credit. All candidates must have proof of passing the State of Illinois power fitness test, or an equivalent from another state. The testing process includes a written test, interview, background investigation, psychological test and medical examination. Full details regarding the application and testing process can be found on the city of Elgin website job center (cityofelgin.org/index.aspx?nid=98). With the objective to seek the most qualified police applicants, the police department has made efforts to enhance its recruiting program. These enhancements include modernizing job information material and recruiting displays, utilizing social media and web-based job websites, increasing Elgin community recruiting, attending a wide variety of job fairs and visiting colleges. In accordance with the city’s goal of a diverse workforce, additional efforts are being made including recruiting visits out of state and Puerto Rico. Members of the department’s recruiting team will be in Puerto Rico to recruit officers and offer the written test to interested candidates. The testing process that has traditionally been limited to Illinois has been expanded to thirteen other states.
