Does the department hire uncertified or inexperienced applicants?

While applicants with prior experience in law enforcement bring positive benefits to the department, a wider view of applicants is looked at. Several areas that are considered include military service, higher education, prior experience, and related experience. A lack of certification or experience should not discourage an interested person from applying. Some of the department's most successful employees were hired with little to no experience in law enforcement.
