The Prince George’s County Police Department offered 98 applicants conditional job offers at a recent recruiting event. The “Fast Track Hiring Event” was held at PGPD headquarters in Upper Marlboro last Saturday.
The Recruiting & Background Division hosted the one-day event which was designed to move qualified candidates through multiple steps of the hiring process in a single day. Applicants completed a physical test, an oral board, a written test and a preliminary background screening. Typically, these steps in the hiring process take weeks, if not months.
Interested applicants traveled from 10 states to participate in the hiring event – from as far away as Illinois, Florida, and New York. Nine candidates are currently experienced police officers with other agencies who are interested in potentially now joining the PGPD.
At the end of the day, the PGPD processed 132 applicants and offered 98 conditional job offers. The accepted applicants will now go through a more extensive background process with the goal of placing them in an upcoming academy class.
Due to the great success of this event, the department is planning to hold more one-day recruiting events soon. Please monitor agency social media for information!
