Steps of the Hiring Process

To join the City of Johns Creek Police Department, download the formal application form.

There are 10 steps to the Police Officer hiring process:

Step 1 - Application for Employment

All applicants must complete the online Application and the Authorization for Release of Personal Records. Print out and mail the completed forms to the Police Department. Resumes will not be accepted in-lieu of an application, however, please attach a copy of your current resume to the application. False or misleading information will result in immediate disqualification from the process.

Step 2 - Physical Agility Test

The Physical Agility Test (PAT) is designed to measure strength, agility and endurance. The exam will consist of push-ups, sit-ups, a 1.5-mile run and a 300-meter sprint. The test is pass/fail.

Step 3 - Written Examination

A standardized written test will be administered to all applicants who have passed the Physical Agility Test. If you fail, you may retake the written test after 6 months, if we offer another testing date during that time period.

Step 4 - Oral Interview

An interview to assess your decision making skills, communication skills and judgment ability will be conducted by the Department. Only those candidates who pass the oral interview will move forward in the selection process.

Step 5 - Conditional Offer of Employment

A conditional offer of employment will be made to qualified applicants once an opening is available. This offer is contingent upon the applicant successfully completing and passing the remaining steps of the hiring process.

Step 6 - Background Investigation

All applicants will submit to a complete Background Investigation. As part of the background investigation, we will check the applicant's employment history, criminal history, credit history, education and military records as well as personal references. Please note that the background investigation is ongoing and may begin as soon as the application for employment is received.

Step 7 - Polygraph

All positions in the Police Department require the applicant to submit to a Polygraph Examination. A contractor employed by the City will administer polygraphs. If results indicate deception, the applicant will be given the opportunity to explain, deny or admit the deception. A second examination maybe administered at the discretion of the Police Department, if it is determined to be necessary for consideration of the applicant continuing in the process. The decision to remove an applicant from the hiring process will not be based solely on the outcome of a Polygraph.

Step 8 - Medical Evaluation/Drug Screen

The Medical Evaluation is thorough, and it is essential that you be in excellent health with no conditions which would restrict your ability to safely perform work. This exam will include but is not limited to the following: EKG, Substance Abuse Screening, Medical Exam and a TB Test.

Step 9 - Psychological Evaluation

The Psychological Evaluation consists of written psychological tests as well an individual oral interview and evaluation by a contracted party on factors related to successful performance in the difficult and stressful job of Police Officer. The information evaluated includes psychological tests as well as the background findings.

Step 10 - Hiring Interview with the Chief of Police

Once the application and hiring process has been completed, the applicant will be interviewed by the Johns Creek Chief of Police. This process serves as a way for the future officer and the Chief to become familiar with one another and to ensure that the officer has an understanding of what is expected of him/her while employed with the City of Johns Creek.

Steps 6 -9 may not necessarily occur in this order.
