Prescott Valley Police has date change for officer recruit testing

The Prescott Valley Police Department has changed the date for its next Police Officer Trainee testing to at 9 a.m. Saturday, April 22.

Prescott Valley is a rapidly growing agency that believes in community and compassionate policing. As the community grows, the department is looking for new officers. PVPD is looking to hire recruits with character and will provide the training required for the job. The department offers job security, paid medical and dental plans, tuition reimbursement, and a great work/life balance. Policing offers a sense of purpose and contentment in the job, and the department invites applicants to come and see what the department has to offer.

Applications are being accepted now for Police Officer Trainees to fill seats for the July police academy class.
