West Hartford Police Department to Hold Open House this Weekend

The West Hartford Police Department, as have police organizations in general, seen a dramatic decrease in the number of applicants interested in the position of a police officer.

With the goal of increasing the number of applicants and to attract applicants that have not previously considered a career in law enforcement the department will be hosting an Career Open House on Saturday, Oct. 29, 2016 from 12 p.m. until 4:00 p.m.

The event will consist of:

• An explanation of the hiring process by Town Employee Services.
• WHPD standards and qualifications as explained by a background investigator.
• A chance to discuss daily activities and career opportunities with various members of the police department.
• A tour of the department.
• Equipment displays.
• Application packets will be available.

Light refreshments will be served.

This is being sponsored by the Employee Services Division of the Town of West Hartford and the West Hartford Police Department.
