Atlanta Police Department Hiring Process

If you want to work for Atlanta Police Department, I’ll be the first to tell you that the process is long, and tedious but at the end of the day it’s all worth it. Now before you get a conditional offer of employment, there are some major hurdles that you’ll have to cross.
Here’s an overview of some of the steps that you’ll have to complete in order to become a certified police officer for the city of Atlanta.
The application:
Some candidates take the application process for granted, but I’ve seen recruits get all the way up to the oral board interview and get disqualified because of misrepresentation on the application that was completed months ago.
The bottom-line here is to be completely honest on your application, and avoid common errors like misspelling, and bad grammar. Remember investigators will go through your application with a fine tooth comb so make sure you have your ducks in a row.
APD Written Entrance Exam:
The APD written exam was designed to cover the following areas:
Reading and writing comprehension skills
Memory recognition
problem solving ability
Judgment and reasoning skills
Verbal communication skills
If you get a top score on the written exam, you’ll then move ahead to the physical assessment test.
Physical Agility Test:
The physical assessment test is a five station test in which the candidate must pass each separate station in order to pass the fitness test. You can get a complete workout guide to help you get into tip top shape for this event by going here.
Background Check:
The background investigation includes checks of former employers, criminal background, financial history, education verification, military records, and interviews with neighbors, supervisors and co-workers. Try to review all three credit bureaus to make sure that there aren’t any discrepancies on your credit report.
Oral Board Interview:
The Oral board exam will be the last chance that you’ll have to sell yourself to the higher ups within the Atlanta police Department. If you do well there, and impress the interview panel, you’ll likely get offered the job pending that you pass the psychological evaluation, computer voice stress analysis, and medical background.
Hope this helps you!
