Last updated on December 06, 2024

Vacancies: 13
Important Information
To test for the Juneau Police Department, choose from one of the following 3 options:
1. Register on this website by selecting any testing date & location (including a Juneau testing event) in order to complete the written test and physical fitness test. If the location you select only offers the written test, you will still need to complete and pass the fitness test in order to continue in our recruitment process. (More info on the fitness test options will be provided to you by the Juneau Police Department once PST has sent your passing written test score to us.)
2. Register on this website for an Online, In-home written test. Check the testing calendar for these available dates. Once you have passed the written test, PST will notify us so that we can then provide you information for getting the fitness test completed.
3. Register on this website to do Remote Testing at an approved Testing Center. The Juneau Police Department is an approved Testing Center, so this means you can test in Juneau at the police station. Once you have registered for a Remote Test, PST will send us a notification, so we can then work with you to select a date that works for you and for us. These testings are somewhat flexible and can be scheduled to accommodate the schedule of local residents. Once you pass the written test, we can provide you information for getting the fitness test completed.
In addition to completing the written test, you must please submit an application with the City & Borough of Juneau via this link: Police Officer - Entry Level | Job Details tab | Career Pages (governmentjobs.com)
----
Do you already have at least one year of law enforcement experience? If so, you may qualify as a lateral applicant and need only to submit an application to the City & Borough of Juneau via this link: Police Officer - Lateral Entry | Job Details tab | Career Pages (governmentjobs.com)

COVID-19 UPDATES
5/6/2020 Update:
TESTING IN WASHINGTON STATE CANCELED THROUGH MAY 31, 2020
All pre-employment tests in Washington State have been canceled until May 31, 2020 unless government restrictions are eased. With recent updates, facility closures, and government guidelines, this step is necessary and could be modified at any time. The health and safety of our customers, our staff, and their families is of the highest priority.
We will continue to evaluate developments and make changes to this policy as necessary. When we do resume testing, there will be plenty of events for everyone to test. We are in regular communication with our public safety agency partners, assessing alternatives to the traditional testing model and our testing policies. Any future updates will be posted on the PST website and our Facebook page.
4/1/2020 Update:
If you have tested with PST in the past 12 months, there may be additional positions you are now eligible to add. Several departments have temporarily changed their testing policies due to the suspension in testing that COVID-19 has caused. Please login to your PST account and navigate to the ‘New Positions’ page to see what departments you can add! We will regularly update that page in your account as departments send updates.
FUTURE TEST REGISTRATION
We know that there will be testing in the future - we just don’t know when! We want you to be prepared for when testing begins again so we have created test events on our calendar that you can register for that will place you in a queue to be first notified. These tests are not “real” test events, they are essentially a holding area. You will be able to “reschedule” out of that event to any other event date/location at no cost. Registering now will also give you time to work on your Personal History Statement (PHS) so that your data will be ready and up-to-date to send to your departments once testing resumes.
To sign up for this placeholder event, select the June 15, 2020 test date in your category (police, fire, 911 dispatch, corrections, etc.).
