The Police Department recruits for Police Officers on an ongoing basis, and has several formal hiring processes throughout the year. The timing of the hiring processes is based on the Johnson County Regional Police Academy Start Dates. Each hiring process takes approximately five months from the start of the process until the first day of employment. The number of Police Officers hired in each process is based on the needs of the Department.

The Fire Department holds a minimum of one formal hiring process per year to develop an Eligibility List. The annual hiring process is held in Fall/Winter, but additional processes can be held throughout the year based on Department needs.
