Spanish speaking applicants are eligible to take the "Police Officer (Spanish Speaking)" exam for no additional fee.
This exam is given at the same time as the Police Officer exam, and once graded, applicants will be ranked in order and receive a position on both the "Police Officer" list and the "Police Officer (Spanish Speaking)" list.
Ten percent of every recruit class that is hired will be drawn exclusively from the Police Officer (Spanish Speaking) list. For example, if a class of 100 applicants is hired, 90 will be drawn from the "Police Officer" list, and 10 from the "Police Officer (Spanish Speaking)" list.
