The city’s current job openings page lists paid police officer and police reserve officer positions. Officer applicants may apply through the Kansas Government Jobs officer listing, while reserve applicants may apply through the Kansas Government Jobs reserve listing. Both listings require applicants to submit completed supplemental responses.
The department’s post also sought an administrative assistant and interns.
According to the department’s Facebook post, department representatives attended the McPherson College Alumni Career Fair Friday, Oct. 2, as part of the college’s Homecoming weekend. The outreach follows a July recruitment drive to fully staff a department authorized for 34 sworn officers and about 15 civilian employees.
A current officer job listing lists a starting wage of $23.04 an hour, with step increases up to $31.05. It says the department prefers state-certified officers but will provide basic academy training at the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center for qualified candidates who aren't yet certified.
