How Our Recruiting Process Works
Interested candidates will apply online. Those who pass the application process will be invited to a monthly two-day testing opportunity which includes a written test, physical agility test, swim test and an oral board interview with three members of the police department.
Passing this two-day testing results in the candidate receiving a conditional offer letter, pending the passing of a polygraph, physical, drug screen and background screen.
The next step is attending the Law Enforcement Academy (for candidates not already certified). This is 24 weeks of schooling, culminating with the successful passing of the state exam.
Cape Coral Police Department then requires an additional six weeks of internal training, known as pre-deployment. This involves educating candidates on internal policies, processes, computer programs, paperwork, etc. It also includes additional training on high liability aspects of the job.
