I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at City of Apache Junction (Apache Junction, AZ) in Mar 2017
Interview
It was very lengthy: there was a skills assessment, a typing test, a psychological eval, a back ground check, an employer verification, interview, drug screening, personal references required.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The first thing asked is how comfortable I felt given the nature of the job and what could transpire during a police emergency while at the same time collecting information that a police officer would need to know. A live 911 call which had been prerecorded was played to illustrate the content one would be exposed to and the kinds of information one could obtain during an emergency.
