Administrative Services recruits, screens, and tests applicants based upon the requirements for the position. Because individual jobs differ, supervisors and managers in the department where the vacancy exists are in a better position to evaluate each candidate's suitability for the particular job. Police and Fire are the only Civil Service positions the City has. If you are interested in a Civil Service Position you must let Administrative Services know so that your name and address can be placed on a mailing list. You will be notified by mail when testing for the Police Department or Fire Department has been scheduled.
Testing usually occurs once a year.
