1. What is the hiring process for police officers in Broomfield?

The City and County of Broomfield accepts applications only for posted positions. To apply for current openings, submit a completed application online at www.broomfield.org/jobs. Human Resources will review all applications and notify applicants of their status. If applicants meet the necessary requirements, the following testing is scheduled: 1. Physical Agility Test 2. Computer Voice Stress Analysis 3. Oral Board Interview 4. Thorough Background Investigation 5. Interview with the Chief of Police and/or Deputy Chief of Police 6. Psychological Exam, Medical Exam, and Drug Screen

Failure to pass any state of testing in the process would terminate an applicant from continuing further in the process.

2. What if I'm already working as an officer elsewhere and want to be hired laterally?

Entry salary would be based upon full years of applicable law enforcement or corrections service. Contact Broomfield's Human Resources Department at 303.438.6320 or the Broomfield Training Division at 720.887.2086 for lateral officer salary information. The Chief of Police makes all final decisions as to the salary for laterals. If you have previous police officer-detention experience and have applied for a police officer-patrol position, your experience in detention would not justify an increase in salary. If you have previous police officer-patrol experience and have applied for a police officer-detention position, this would not justify an increase in salary.

3. If I am hired, what equipment would I have to buy?
