Each applicant must pass each element of the hiring process before proceeding to the next portion of the hiring process. Failure of any one element will result in removal from the hiring process.
Out-of-Town applicants must have all documents, including a valid CPAT certificate that indicates successful completion of the Candidate Physical Ability Test, submitted by March 15, 2024. Failure to submit documents and obtain a valid CPAT certificate by the deadline will result in removal from the hiring process.
