These eligibility lists are created usually once a year. This year's list will be established in November. We will prorate points based on number of semester hours earned divided by 120 hours. Experience points are awarded based on actual police experience in which individuals had arrest authority. One point per year is granted up to the maximum of five.
Military police does count as does police work in another municipality or sheriff's department.
Experience as a guard, security officer or reserve officer does not count. The recruitment for the eligibility list usually starts in late summer or early fall each year. The position is advertised in the Sunday Tennessean and the local papers. We do not accept applications except when we are in an active recruitment for the eligibility list. We do however, have an interest card system in which applicants can fill out a self addressed post card that will be mailed when the recruitment opens.
