HOW TO APPLY
Many police departments and sheriff offices in New Jersey fall under the umbrella of the New Jersey Department of Personnel. This means these departments do not directly accept applications for employment for positions of Police Officer and Deputy Sheriff. Hiring is conducted by utilizing a Civil Service list maintained by the New Jersey Department of Personnel. In order to qualify as a candidate, you must first successfully pass the New Jersey Department of Personnel written examination.
Applications are available from the New Jersey Department of Personnel web site. You will then be required to complete and mail in the applications along with the identified fee directly to the New Jersey Department of Personnel. When announcements are made by the New Jersey Department of Personnel you will be notified via postal mail of your testing date, and testing centers location, along with directions, and items you will need to bring (if any) with you that day.
Once you have taken the civil service exam you will then be ranked according to score. The results of the exam will be sent to applicants by mail. Applicants that achieve a high ranking will be certified by the Department of Personnel. As the need arises for the hiring of Police Officers and Deputy Sheriffs the departments you selected on your application will contact you to begin the hiring process.
