currently accepting applications. Younger department with good opportunity for specialized units only after 2-3 years. New class is scheduled to start with over 30 in February and will mostly likely have a second class in fall of 2017. Good benefits including city issued duty and back up firearms. Only HS diploma required but financial incentives for degrees. I can answer questions if needed.

Excellent!, thank you for letting us know! Does Dayton PD use National Testing Network or does the city's civil service department provide their own test?

[Adam2015]

Disregard my question.

[OHbuck15]

Nope just there own test. There used to be a DOJ mandated test but they now do their own. That was about 5-6 years ago.

One plus about this dept is that there is only seniority requirments for shift bidding which happens once a year. Outside of that if you qualify for a specialized position they will consider you. You can have two years on and be on the SWAT team or possibly a detective position. Lots of opportunities....

Hey, OHbuck15 sent a PM your way.

[Adam2015]

That's awesome but I see even with a first degree misdemeanor it's an automatic dq.. what is a first degree misdemeanor exactly? Like any m1 charge that's rules as an m1 offense regardless if its traffic or criminal? I'm a bit confused..

[Adam2015]

If I understood it correctly too they get paid weekly?

It will probably depend on the type of M1 conviction. Domestic violence is an M1 but it can be enhanced to a felony. It can also be for an OVI. There are many types of M1 crimes. DPD Wants the best they can get. Some smaller departments are less restrictive than this. I can tell you that it never hurts to call recruitment to get a better answer as I am not directly involved in the actual hiring process.

[OHbuck15]

You get paid bi-weekly. Typically twice a month sometimes three times. Uniform allowance once a year at about $1200.

[Adam2015]

Oh ok well I'll call them Monday if I get the chance, not off work until 2:30 so not even sure they will still be open.. but thanks man for the heads up I really appreciate it.

[Adam2015]

Does Dayton PD offer a study guide for their test do you know? Wish I New about their expo I would have went to it.

[OHbuck15]

I'm pretty sure there is a study guide. There was when I did it 5 years ago. We will have more expos so don't worry if you missed it. Just keep an eye on the cities facebook page.

Im an FTO/PTO so I can assist with a lot of questions.

Thanks bud I appreciate it, I'll definitely keep my eyes open. I'm just worried about when they do the first pt exam in march, the initial run part anyway because I have training I have to do in march with the state and its two weeks long.. so I'm unsure if I'll be able to chedule it around that or not.

Submitted my application yesterday. Does anyone know when they will start physicals?

[OHbuck15]

Probably in the spring time. When is the civil test?
