In early July, members from the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety will be returning to New Jersey for the agency’s second out-of-state recruitment event. This year’s initiative seeks to enhance recruiting efforts by expanding focus to include both police officer applicants and those interested in a career in 911 Telecommunications.
“Last year’s trip resulted in nine candidates who are now serving with the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety. We hope to identify and attract even more top talent during our upcoming testing event,” said Captain Jakai Braithwaite, who is overseeing the New Jersey Initiative.
During the process, applicants can participate in several steps of the hiring process — police officer candidates can take part in the State of Georgia’s standard physical agility test and virtual panel interviews while 911 applicants can complete a pre-qualification preparation exam regarding call-taking and dispatch processes, along with testing that involves data processing and decision-making skills.
“The testing, which is designed to present challenges unique to each job function, are great opportunities for candidates to showcase their abilities and determination,” said Captain Braithwaite. “Our agency takes pride in its recruitment efforts and is committed to finding individuals who are passionate about serving on our team. As one of the premier law enforcement agencies in the United States, we are actively seeking highly motivated, qualified law enforcement candidates and aspiring 911 telecommunicators who embody our agency’s core values of courageous spirit, selfless service, and excellence with integrity.”
The recruitment event will be held at the Hasbrouck Heights High School in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey from July 12 to July 14.
