Are you committed to Community Policing? Are you looking for an Internationally Accredited Agency that is devoted to professional excellence? Are you ready to join one of Chicagoland’s finest? If you can answer "YES" to these questions, then the Rolling Meadows Police Department is looking for you. The accelerated entry process is a progressive, cost effective means of hiring qualified experienced law enforcement professionals. Applicants must be at least 21 years of age and not older that 40 years of age at the time of appointment, currently employed as a full time (non-probationary), certified law enforcement officer and posses a minimum of 48 college credit hours. Successful candidates who are hired will be required to obtain 60 credit hours upon completion of the 18-month probationary period. Note – education requirements will be waived for two years of full-time, active duty military status and/or law enforcement status. All accelerated entry process candidates must provide documentation to show that their current responsibilities and duties are similar to those of a Police Officer in the City of Rolling Meadows. This will be accomplished through a combination of employee evaluations, past and current assignments, training certificates, and a written exercise. Applicants must further provide documentation that they have fulfilled the requirements of the Illinois Police Training Act. Those candidates that are out of state law enforcement officers must provide documentation that they have fulfilled the requirements of their respective training boards and be eligible to receive certification through the Illinois training board. Accelerated entry candidates who meet these requirements and are selected for accelerated entry will not be required to take an entry level written exam or entry level physical agility exam. Accelerated entry candidates will be required to complete all other phases of the entry process before an offer of employment. This process will also include:
