Full Job Description

The Shawnee Police Department is currently hiring multiple candidates, including non-certified Police Officers! The general purpose of the Police Officer position is to affirmatively promote a feeling of community safety and security through the safe, efficient, effective and lawful performance of law enforcement duties and functions. NEW starting salary begins at $64,114 per year with no experience. Police Officers receive annual step increases plus merit increases, earning an annual salary up to $104,250 after year 8.

If you are a certified/lateral officer, please apply through Police Officer - Lateral job posting

Daily routines require taking calls for service, patrolling to deter and detect crime, investigating crimes and complaints, citing and arresting law violators, preparing and following up on reports and cases, protecting persons and property, and securing and protecting prisoners. When not responding to calls for service, the police officer is expected to use unassigned work time in an efficient manner by self-initiating work on those tasks identified by supervisory personnel as priorities for this job position.

Minimum Qualifications:

High School diploma or the equivalent
Must be 21 years of age by the date of employment
U.S. Citizen
Valid driver's license and an acceptable driving record

Note: Kansas residency not required.
For information on automatic exclusions, visit the Police Department website here (https://cityofshawnee.org/Departments/Police/Career_Opportunities).

Information on this application will be used to judge your qualifications and evaluate your education for the position that you are applying for. Please read all of the questions carefully and answer all questions completely and honestly.

Include all past and current employers.
Include all education from high school through highest level of education with start and end dates.
List three character references that you have known for at least three years, are not related to you and are not listed as a supervisor in the Employment History section.

Do not leave any blank spaces. If a question does not apply, write "DNA" in the answer space. All information in this application is subject to verification. Any false, misleading, or incomplete information will result in your application being eliminated. Your ability to completely and honestly fill out this application is part of the process to determine your suitability for employment. If you intentionally leave out any information that you think might be detrimental to you obtaining a job such as past drug use, any incidents of theft or other crimes, it will automatically eliminate you from consideration for employment. The fact that you may have used drugs, committed theft or another illegal act will not automatically eliminate you, but the omission of it during the application process will. Once submitted, this application becomes the property of the City of Shawnee.
