Police Officer
Testing and ranking of police officer candidates is conducted under the supervision of the Papillion Civil Service Commission. An eligibility list is established at least annually and may remain valid for one year from the date of certification. Appointments are made as vacancies occur. Candidates who do not qualify for the eligibility list, or who are not appointed to probationary status, may make application when testing for a new eligibility list is conducted. The testing and selection process includes the following steps:
Initial screening is conducted at the direction of the Papillion Civil Service Commission. Candidates interested in becoming Police Officers with the Papillion Police Department must register with Morrow & Associates. Only registered candidates will be allowed to take the entrance exam. The exam process will include a written standardized test, the Test of Adult Basic Education, and a pass/fail fitness assessment. For more information on the registration or exam process, contact Morrow & Associates, 402.330.1019 or www.morrowhr.com.
Based upon initial screening results and initial background check, selected candidates’ names are forwarded to the Civil Service Commission for structured board interviews. Based on the results of the above steps, the Civil Service Commission will certify an eligibility list by rank-ordering all candidates. For the first position to be filled, the Commission will forward the top three names to the Chief of Police for final interview. One name will be added for each additional vacancy.
