AUBURN
The Baltimore City Police Departmentthe eighth largest police
force in the United Stateswill return toCayuga Community College to
recruit for 150 positions that the department will fill this year,
with academy
classes starting every two months. Last year, the department
tested approximately 150 applicants, of whom 18
people were offered jobs, 12 accepted, and two others are still
being processed.
Representatives from the Baltimore Police Department will offer
its Civil Service Test at 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. on
May 5. For the test, applicants are required to wear a shirt and
tie for males, and business attire for females.
Those who pass the Civil Service Test will be invited to
participate in a fitness test on the following day, May 6,
at 8 a.m. The recruiters will review applicants documents and
conduct preliminary interviews beginning at 8
a.m. on May 7. All of the activities are slated to occur at
Cayugas Auburn Campus, 197 Franklin St.
The test is free and open to any U.S. citizen who is a high
school graduate (or the equivalent GED) 20 years or
older with a valid drivers license. No pre-registration is
required.
Were eager to get to the Cayuga campus again as part of our
recruitment drive in the hopes of finding more
applicants like we did last year, Detective Gregory W.
Ostrander, who is coordinating the recruitment event.For applicants
that are motivated, they can potentially be on the street as police
officers by the summer of
2013.
The Civil Service Test is good for two years, so students who
still have one year left of college can start the
process and see if they would meet the requirements set by the
department, Ostrander said.
Those who pass the preliminary interview and document review
will be invited down to Baltimore to start their
background investigation on June 4. The applicants have to do a
polygraph physiological examination as well as
medical exam. Those who pass all stages of processing will be
offered employment.
The department selected Cayuga to be its recruitment center
because of its central location in the state andbecause it has a
strong criminal justice program. Currently, 425 Cayuga Community
College students take
criminal justice courses online or at the Auburn or Fulton
campus.
The written exam tests the areas that are important for success
as a police officer, including the ability to learn,
remember, and apply facts; ability to remember faces and details
about people and events; ability to use logicand reasoning to solve
problems related to police work; and personal interests. Anyone
interested in receiving a
study guide or assistance on test preparation is encouraged to
contact Detective Ostrander at
[email protected] or at 443-360-8067.
The fitness test challenges applicants to complete sit-ups (29)
and push-ups (20 for men, 10 for women) within
a minute, demonstrate flexibility, run 1.5 miles in 16:28
minutes, and control a firearm in both the weak andstrong hand.
