Police Lateral Entry Jobs available now

We have 50 years of experience in law enforcement, and 30+ years experience in writing tests and assessments for Police Officers, Deputy Sheriffs and law enforcement agencies from all around the country.

These are full-time, non-seasonal, well paying positions! These are only our recommendations. Other agencies may be equally worthy. It is up to you to thoroughly investigate all the agencies you are applying to in order to ensure they are a good fit for your career goals.

Postings are updated every 30 days. Start applying - and good luck!

Signing Bonus - This blue star indicates that there may be a Signing Bonus attached to this job opening. Other agencies may also have one, but may not let a signing bonus be generally known, but may offer it only to select recruits. Restrictions may apply. Make sure you ASK - and CONFIRM - any information about a signing bonus ahead of applying with an agency.

About those "closing dates."
Even though it may show the closing date has passed, send your application, resume or contact information in to them anyway. After the "closing date" lateral applicants drop out, are eliminated or change their minds at the last minute. Happens all the time. The person in charge of applicant processing (I did that job for 5 years, so I know!) will scramble to fill the positions - make sure you are the one they contact!
