The Portland Police Department is Now Hiring

Police Department is Now Hiring


The Portland Police Department is turning to new media in an effort to diversify and recruit the best candidates for currently open police officer positions. In advance of the scheduled written exam for applicants this spring, the department is spreading the word about their operations and employment opportunities on Facebook and You Tube in an effort to reach potential applicants who frequent these sites including the city’s Portland Cityline on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=3877548061016&saved#!/PortlandCityline). Videos have been developed which highlight work in the department and its important role in protecting and supporting the community (videos can also be viewed on the Police Departments home page http://police.portlandmaine.gov/default.asp). An additional video was developed to explain the required physical fitness exam and what is necessary for applicants to pass it (http://police.portlandmaine.gov/fitnesstest.asp).

Currently the Police Department is seeking to hire six officers. People interested in joining the department and serving the community will need to apply, pass a written and physical exam and be selected by the department for interviews (additional information is available http://www.portlandmaine.gov/apppacket2006.pdf). Written exams are scheduled for May 16 and June 7. Qualified candidates will then be chosen by the department and sent to the Maine Criminal Justice Academy.
