Application process

Eligibility & Criteria
  • Have at least 180 continuous days of active service
  • Completed service's transition program

  • Proof of HPD recruit application submission*
*Submitted only after accepting the employment training offer but no later than a week prior to the start of the program.  In addition, the participant must be 20 years of age at the time of HPD recruit application submission - a minimum requirement for an HPD recruit applicant.
Application Process
Step 1:  Submit Your Application

Applications should be submitted at least one year prior to being discharged or released from active duty.  


Step 2:  Interview

Applications will be reviewed.  If the review is positive, an interview will be scheduled with the applicant.  The interview is a required step in the application process and is by invitation only.  Nevertheless, an invitation to interview does not guarantee admission into the program.

Step 3:  Personal History Statement (PHS) / Background Investigation / Fingerprinting

Applicants who successfully complete the interview will be given access to their online PHS.  Applicants will have ten (10) days to submit an accurate and complete PHS.  The completed PHS will then be assigned to a detective who will conduct a background investigation.  Applicants will also need to submit fingerprints.

Step 4:  Job Training Offer

If an applicant meets department standards, they will be issued a job training offer.  The offer will be sent via email and applicants will have 48 hours to accept the offer by replying to the job training offer email in the affirmative.


*When a recruit application is submitted, the Government Jobs system will send a confirmation email.  Simply forward/send tthe confirmation email to [email protected].
