I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Naperville Police Department (Naperville, IL) in Jul 2024
Interview
The meeting was with the Deputy Director of Administrative Services, as well as a representative with Human Resources. I arrived 15 minutes early but waited in the lobby of the police station; the desk was staffed by only one officer, who was busy with someone else and there were others waiting as well. Being polite and waiting my turn cost me time, so it appeared that I arrived late; in retrospect I should have texted or called the recruiter to let them know I was there. The interview itself was quite cordial and rather typical "getting to know you" questions were asked, followed of course by more specific questions over qualifications and experience. Overall a positive experience.
