Parsippany Police Hiring For Entry-Level Officer Position

PARSIPPANY, NJ — The Parsippany-Troy Hills Police Department is looking to bring a new officer onto the force, with applications being accepted until May 1.

This is an entry-level position, with no experience or certification required. The selection process for candidates includes a thorough background check, an oral interview, and a medical exam (which includes a drug screening and psychological exam).

The salary for this position is listed at $44,878 for the first six months of employment.

Those who are Police Training Commission-certified as a regular full-time police officer will not be considered, the job posting stated. This condition excludes applicants who only attended a Special Law Enforcement Officer I or II academy.

The filing deadline is midnight on Wednesday, May 1. Applications will only be accepted online through policeapp.com, and the $35 registration fee goes to the website and not the township.

Applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 35, have a valid New Jersey driver's license, and have a minimum of a high school diploma or GED. Applicants must also be U.S. citizens and currently live in Morris or Sussex County.
