Announcement of Entrance Test for Police Officers - When the current hiring list has expired or been expended, the City announces a date for a new entry level test for police candidates. At this time applications are accepted by the Human Resource Department at 389 Congress Street, Room 113, Portland, ME 04101.
Application Period - During this time applications must be received. An application form may be obtained from Human Resources. It must be accompanied by a cover letter and a resume. Resumes are used as part of the screening process. Successful candidates should spend some time on preparation of a solid resume.
Information Night - The Department hosts an evening session where members of the Department explain, in detail, the hiring process and life as a member of PPD. This night is essential to insights into what the successful candidate needs to know.
Written Exam - Produced by a national testing firm, this exam is multiple choice questions that test general aptitudes in reading, deductive reasoning, and other areas. A minimum score of 70 is necessary to move forward in the process. All applicants will receive a test score from the City.
Physical Fitness - The Department utilizes the Maine Criminal Justice Academy's entry test for physical fitness. Currently, that test requires sit ups, push ups, and a 1.5 mile run. Successful completion of this test is required for entry into the Academy Failure, therefore, eliminates candidates from consideration.
Resume Review - The Civil Service ordinance determines the make-up of a committee that reviews the resumes of all candidates who scored a minimum of 70 on the written test. This committee reviews resumes for basic qualifications. Key to this review are educational experience, work experiences, skills (i.e. foreign languages), and activities. This process is competitive and a well written resume that shows some preparation for this type of work is helpful. The committee will vote yes, no, or maybe on each candidate. Those candidates receiving yes votes move on in the process. A maybe indicates a candidate who the Department will look at, at a later date, as the list exhausts itself. Applicants receiving a no vote are removed from the process.
Affirmative Action - The City of Portland and the Portland Police Department are committed to encouraging minority and/or female applicants. To increase exposure for the Department to these candidates, all women and self-identified minority candidates who receive a maybe from the Review Committee are moved on in the process.
Oral Interview - All remaining candidates are interviewed by a panel made up of Department representatives and a Civil Service Commissioner. These interviews are low stress and seek to cause candidates to talk about themselves. The interview panel designates each candidate as recommended, not recommended or mixed. The panel reports this information to the Chief of Police who determines which candidates will move on in the hiring process.
Background Investigation - All candidates, remaining in the process, are given a background book to complete. This book and its information are assigned to an investigator who will work to verify its contents. The purpose of this investigation is to uncover any disqualifying events in a candidate's life. Honesty is a premium here. False information, misinformation, and undisclosed information will lead to removal from the process.
Job Suitability Assessment - This stage consists of a number of written testing instruments employed by the Department's psychologist. The results of these tests and an interview are transmitted to the Department. Candidates must be recommended by this process to continue.
CONDITIONAL JOB OFFER - Candidates still alive in the process may receive a conditional job offer. Upon acceptance of that offer, the next 2 stages of the process take place.
Polygraph Exam - All applicants, in the process, must complete a polygraph exam. Again, the emphasis is on honesty.
Medical Exam - The final step is a complete physical exam.
At the direction of the Chief of Police, candidates are given final job offers. Upon acceptance, candidates are sworn in and sent to the Academy for 18 weeks of instruction before beginning their careers in Portland.
The certified list is good through one hiring cycle or about 6 months. The Department runs a hiring cycle to place officers in the Academy. Generally, Academy classes begin in August and January.
Maine’s largest municipal department is currently accepting lateral applications for police officer. Written testing process is waived for full time law enforcement officers. Salary is commensurate with years of police service. Process will be expeditious and accommodating.
