Recruiting Unit and Academy Class Update

The down-turn in the economy significantly increased our applicant numbers but caused a decrease in cadet classes and budgetary constraints. As a result, we are experiencing a high volume of applications which is resulting in longer processing time. We apologize for any inconvenience and ask that you remain patient.

We have two classes of 70 cadets each scheduled to begin on March 29, 2010 and May 24, 2010. Applicants who have applied online but have not come into the office for an interview as of today, will be placed in the pool of applicants for classes to be held in Fiscal Year 2011, which runs from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011. Class dates and numbers have not yet been determined at this time.

Please check back often at http://www.hpdcareer.com/ , http://www.hpdblog.com/ , or sign up for Twitter at http://twitter.com/hpdcareer for instant updates or additional applicant processing information.

Is it possible to apply before you have all of the 60 college credits to get a head start on the application process? Thanks!

I applied awhile back and it was an out of state app. I have now moved to the area and was wondering if there is anything i can do to get into the classes next year.

Is it possible for someone to join this unit, without having any police officer experience.
