Careers

The Careers page will be one of the most important pages in PLPD Online and in your PLPD career. This page shows all the applications you can submit for the Police Department. How it works is that there is a summary that talks about what the application is about, and underneath the summary are the Requirements to apply for the role. If you meet all the requirements, there will be a green button that reads as "Apply". When you click on the button, it will bring you to the application process. From there, you read the questions and answer them. After you answer all the questions, you press submit. Multiple-choice application stages are normally graded automatically, but written applications require human application markers, so be patient please. When you pass or fail a stage in an application or the application itself, it will let you know in the notifications tab on the right of the top navigation bar. Advice: The tools you can use to further help you with applications are found within the Resources page located in the drop-down menu of the Information tab.

There are two Navigation menus in PLPD Online, and they are similar to some extent, but they both have some different features.
