Tumwater’s Civil Service Commissioners revealed that there had been no new police officer hired in August after all six applicants failed the application process.
The applicants for entry-level police offers were revealed at a civil service commission meeting yesterday, September 8. There were five male and one female applicant. Four applicants passed the oral panel interview, but none passed the chief’s interview.
All four applicants were disqualified due to their past, according to Police Chief Jon Weiks.
Meanwhile, applications for lateral firefighter and paramedic positions will close on September 23.
Applicants should be currently employed in a full-time firefighter or paramedic position for no less than 24 consecutive months. They should have completed the Firefighter 1 program under the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) or have valid certification as a Washing State or nationally registered paramedic.
Applicants will go through an oral panel interview on October 3, followed by the chief’s interview on October 24.
