Start Your Career with Parsippany PD: No Experience Needed!

Fuel Your Future with the Parsippany PD

The Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills is rolling out the welcome mat for your next big career move by offering entry-level police officer positions. Mayor James R. Barberio and Police Chief Richard Pantina are eager to fill these full-time roles, no resume boasting decades on the beat required.

That's right. Not quite the action-hero from your favorite police procedural? No problem. This gig doesn’t demand prior experience or certifications. If you're 18 and legal to drive in the Garden State, get set to polish your badge. You must be hired before turning 35, and you’ll have to pass a few extra hoops along the way—written exams, physical tests, interviews, and a buffet of medical, psychological, and drug screenings.

But wait, there's more! A background check tops off the application sundae, meaning those hazy college nights should remain just that—hazy.

Already in the Pipeline? You’re Still in Luck

If you’re halfway through a police academy or just wrapped up training via the Alternate Route program without a badge to show for it, you're still in the race. Dust off that résumé and make sure to scribble in when you plan to graduate.

Not to pour cold water on anyone's ambitions, but those who are already rocking a PTC certification (outside of SLEO I or II academies) should hold their fire.

A Date with Destiny

To embark on this promising blue horizon, drop all your documents by April 27 at the stroke of midnight. Remember, though, that the early applicant gets the worm as interviews and background checks could take off like a police chase long before the deadline bell rings.

So if you're ready to turn a new leaf, learn more and apply here, and ensure that wearing the police blues isn’t just a dream—it’s your job.
