The eligible list established by the 2007 written test is still active. There currently are no plans for another written test.

POLICE CANDIDATES QUALIFIED BY 2007 WRITTEN TEST:

Congratulations to those of you who passed. Each of you is now on an eligible roster of written test-qualified candidates. You must continue to meet eligibility requirements to remain on the roster or to continue in the selection process. This roster is used to meet the need for police officers as it arises. Each time a police class is needed, the Port Authority will draw a number of applicants' names for invitation to the remaining parts of the screening and selection process, through which successful candidates are chosen to enter a police academy training class. More information about the police officer selection process and the Police Academy Training Program is available by clicking on the links in the left-hand navigation of this page. Should you be drawn for the remaining parts of the process, you will receive a mailing/overnight package. Candidates are advised to be prepared on short notice to attend selection events and to produce documents needed for the background investigation. A partial list of documents is provided through the left-hand link to assist you in preparing, should your name be drawn for invitation to the remaining parts of the screening and selection process.

IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU KEEP YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION CURRENT:
