Application

Applicants may also apply for Police Officer positions through EMPCO, Inc., which provides a statewide recruiting and hiring consortium serving public safety agencies.

EMPCO has partnered with several police departments in Michigan to develop a system to assist candidates for entry level positions as police officers. Participating police departments ask you to take an entry-level examination, generally referred to as pre-employment tests, at a nearby test site as the first step in this process. Your test score, name, address, email address and a brief profile that you complete will be available to every participating police department in the state that you select. Therefore, with one process, you can automatically apply to numerous police departments.

Additional information about this system and list of police departments participating in the system can be found on the EMPCO website.
