New Jersey jobs

[k9luther]

I currently have 11 years on with a pd in PA. We are located along the Delaware River across from Gloucester County, NJ. I live in Gloucester County and would like to find a job somewhere in the county. Is this possible or is it a long shot?

Any advice.

IT's a long shot! Unless it's a "chief's test" town. Otherwise you will have to take the civil service test that is given every 2 years. Next one will be given mid-2010 with the announcement this December (2009). And remember there is a maximum hiring age of 35.

I work in Gloucester Co, but we are civil service. There a a lot of police departments in the county and only (3) are civil service, so your chances are better. One of the guys that I work with had (5) year on in Lower Marion, and came over, but had to go through the full academy, cause my department WILL NOT apply for a waiver. With all the alternate route canidates out there, you might have a tough time. Best bet is to take the civil service test and live in one of the CS towns or hope for the Sheriffs Department.

How can you work in PA and live in NJ. I thought most departments (minus bridge and septa) require a PA license?

Ummm, yeah....Wrong name was in the paper though. PA does not require residency in the state.

I know I recognized the pic..

But in order to have a PA license you must live in PA. I know most departments in the Philly area require a PA license.

Are these departments civil service and require an act 120 in Delco? I live here and am just wondering.
