Radnor Police Hiring Again

Nearly 100 people took a written exam to be part of Radnor Township’s Police Department on Saturday.

The 84 men and eight women took the test, which the first of a multi-step process towards being hired as a police officer.

Earlier this year Radnor approved the hiring of eight new officers to fill dwindling ranks. Two of those going through probationary training have since left.

So Saturday’s written exam will likely find candidates for those two positions and could provide a list of eligible officers if anyone else leaves in the next year or so, Police Superintendent William Colarulo told Radnor Patch.

Radnor will cull a certain amount of names (could be as many as 40) from the top of the test results and move them on to physical and oral tests. From there, the department will establish an “eligibility list.”

Those on that list will undergo background investigations and a polygraph test, Colarulo said. The few who receive a condition letter of employment from the township will lastly undergo psychiatric and physical evaluation.

The eligibility list is good for one year with the option to extend it for another year with approval from Radnor’s Civil Service Commission.
