Dear Applicant:

Thank you for your interest in the Madison Police Department - - we are an agency committed to the proposition that individuals can and do make a difference! Our goal is to act as a resource to every candidate involved in our hiring process. If you have questions or the need for clarification arises upon receipt of the application (or any stage of the process), please contact the Training Team and a member of our staff will be happy to assist you.

Enclosed within this packet are several items:

1. Preliminary Application
2. Hiring Information Sheet (PDF)
3. Written Test Explanation Sheet (PDF)

With respect to the preliminary application, review it carefully. Applications deemed "incomplete" will not be advanced for further review unless/until omissions or deficiencies have been resolved. Therefore, read and follow directions carefully ensuring that all questions have been answered, supporting documentation is attached (or is in transit) and the final work product should be neat and legible.

Everyone who submits a complete application is invited to take the written test and physical agility assessment. Each candidate is accorded one opportunity only to test during any given recruitment campaign.

Bear in mind that a submitted application becomes an extension of you and serves as a measure of your professionalism. Additionally, proper completion of the preliminary application is similar to an officer in the field pursuing an investigation. Certain procedures must be followed, timeliness is critical and the final report must be comprehensive. That same attention to detail will be noted in this, the first phase of a competitive hiring process. If your packet does not include all the above-mentioned attachments, or you have additional questions, please contact Deb Slawek at (608) 266-4190. Good luck!

Sincerely,

Michael C. Koval, Sergeant of Police
Personnel and Training Team
