The Gwinnett County Police Department is hoping a $5,100 hiring incentive and a $2,000 relocation incentive to move to Gwinnett will interest potential law enforcement officers. Interested applicants are encouraged to attend a hiring event 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 2 at the Gwinnett County Police Training Center, 854 Winder Highway in Lawrenceville.
Those applying for the police officer positions are asked to register and schedule an appointment in advance at www.tinyurl.com/GwinnettPoliceDec2.
Phase I of this process consists of an orientation, physical agility test, oral interview, psychological exam and initial background check. Conditional job offers will be made for those who qualify. Phase II of the hiring process takes place later with the entire application process averaging about 90 days for completion.
GCPD offers all officers a 4% annual raise and a 5% shift differential for night watch uniform patrol officers. Educational incentives of 3% for a 2-year college degree and a 6% incentive for a 4-year college degree are awarded to those who qualify.
Those who receive their final job offer will be offered immediate employment regardless of the start date of the next police academy.
