Last modified on December 7th, 2021 at 01:31 pm
The Elkins Police Civil Service Commission will test for entry-level police officer candidates on December 18, 2021. On that date, the physical fitness test will be at 9 a.m., and a written (online) test will follow at 12:30 p.m. Candidates passing both the physical and written tests will sit for interviews on December 21 , 2021, starting at 2 p.m.
After interviews are complete, successful applicants will be ranked by overall score on a list of candidates eligible for entry-level appointment to the department. There is currently one entry-level opening that could be filled from this list.
Applicants currently certified as West Virginia law enforcement officers are eligible for a $7,500 signing bonus, although they would join EPD as entry-level officers regardless of current rank.
