The Enfield Police Department
Announces a Written Exam for the Position of
Police Officer
NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE REQUIRED - EXCELLENT TRAINING PROGRAM
SALARY: 52,499 – 64,563
The Enfield Police Department’s testing process is like no other in the State of Connecticut. We run you through as much of the testing and interview process in one day. This includes:
A written test to assess your ability to learn new material, to reason, to solve problems and apply sound situational judgment. Passing score is 70.
A physical fitness assessment to determine your strength, agility and general physical fitness.
A writing exercise to assess your ability to write clearly and correctly.
Applicants who are pre-certified in the physical fitness assessment through Complete Health & Injury Prevention (CHIP), and who pass the written exam, may have their first interview the same day as the written exam.
Later phases of the process will include oral board examinations, polygraph (lie detector) test, background investigation, psychological examination, medical examination and drug testing.
Applicants must have a high school diploma or the equivalent, be at least 20 years old at the time of testing, and at least 21 at the time of hire (this is a state requirement for admission to the Police Officer Standards and Training (POST) academy program).
There is a twenty-five (25) dollar application fee for this process, which must be sent along with your completed application.
