Not much turnover in West cannot speak for the rest of the state. Weapons are for(Cadre team) and Tac team .38, mini 14 and 12 gauge 870. On duty most officers carry mace, cuffs and radio.

Re: Are they hiring???

I took the initial test 4 weeks ago. It was easy. It consists of 3 parts
1. video-watch some short clips and answer some questions. Memory and close observation is key!
2. written-multiple guess, some reading comprehension, logic problems, simple math
3. bio-you can do this on-line ahead of time and save some time. They ask background and some basic personality questions.

They tell you it will be 4-6 weeks to get the results....so any day now for me

You can lookup the training schedules as well, PM me and I'll send the link if you want it.

Good Luck!!!

Well, I got my test results....Best Qualified....WooHoo

I also received a interview notice from the Central Region, but I'm not interested in that area. I live nearest to ECI, so I'm hoping to get a notice from them soon.

Well, bad news
I emailed ECI and they are not even interviewing until Dec/Jan. I find it a bit odd to have us test in July and they can't even get their act together for interviews for 6 months...very frustrating!!!!
