  Recruitment  
     

Thanks for your interest in the Glenwood Springs Police Department.  We currently have the following job openings:

  • Patrol Officer - Deadline for submitting an application for this position is May 3rd, 2012.  Testing will be held May 10th and May 11th.

  • Code Enforcement Officer - Deadline for submitting an application for this position is April 25th, 2012.  Testing will be held on May 2nd.


Dear Candidate,

The Glenwood Springs Police Department will be holding a testing process for the position of Police Officer. Current certification as a sworn Officer in Colorado is not a requirement for testing, but is a consideration in all hiring decisions. The Department does have a trainee program in which a candidate may be considered for sponsorship through a Colorado Law Enforcement Training Academy.

Accurately completed applications must be received by May 3rd at 1700 hours to participate in testing. Pre-screening of applications may result in disallowing testing. The schedule for the testing process is as follows:

  • May 10th - 0800 hrs - Check in at GSPD, written testing, physical agility testing
  • May 11th - 0800 hrs - Check in at GSPD, pre-psych testing, 3 on 1 interviews
Each step in this testing phase is an elimination phase, so candidates need to be prepared to return for the duration of testing if they succeed at each phase. No individual phases will be performed at a later date to accommodate schedule issues. Oral Board Interviews, polygraph examinations , Chief's interviews , psychological testing, and physical exams will be scheduled with successful candidates at a later time.

The Physical Agility test is demanding and requires clothing appropriate for physical exercise, running and contact with the ground, whatever weather conditions exist. Please contact Carol Davis at the Department to confirm your intention to participate in the testing process.

We look forward to seeing you,

Terry Wilson
Chief of Police
