pass all 5 events (which shall include a 1.5 mile run, 300 meter run, maximum sit-ups in one minute, maximum push-ups in one minute, and maximum bench press with three attempts) by the minimum standard score will be dropped from further consideration. The remaining candidates who have passed the minimum standards will proceed to the next step in the selection process. 17.1.6 Background Investigation The top 10-15 candidates (as determined by the written test score) that were successful in the physical fitness test shall be provided a background information packet. A detailed and thorough background investigation will be conducted, based upon the information contained in the personal history questionnaire. The investigation will include inquiries in the areas of criminal record, employment history, credit check, family histories, educational background, military service, and individual histories. Each candidate will receive a Release of Information Waiver, a Credit Check Waiver, and a Military History Waiver which will accompany the packet, and the applicant must sign each waiver (as applicable) before the background process can proceed. An applicant may be disqualified during the background investigation if the background investigator discovers eliminating factors that would be considered cause for dismissal. 17.1.7 Oral Review Board Generally, the top five candidates remaining in the hiring process will be invited to participate in the Oral Review Board. The Oral Review Board will be comprised of senior staff members and supervisors. The candidates that are interviewed are given questions and scenarios in an effort to evaluate their decision-making, communication skills, judgment, leadership skills, and command presence. Each candidate is evaluated and ranked according to the interview. The top three candidates then proceed to the next step of the hiring process. 17.1.8 Polygraph Applicants who were successful in the Oral Review Board will be required to submit to a polygraph examination or similar tests for truth verification which shall be conducted by a qualified examiner. The purpose of the polygraph is to ensure the accuracy and truthfulness of the information gathered during the background investigation and information which was provided by the applicant on the personal history questionnaire. The polygraph/truth verification testing process is graded on a pass/fail basis with the successful candidates proceeding to the next step of the hiring process. If a candidate fails a polygraph test, he/she may be permitted to take an alternate test (ie – CVSA) at the discretion of the Chief of Police (and vise-versa). 17.1.9 Final Interview The Chief of Police will interview the final candidates who have passed the polygraph/truth verification examination. In addition, the City Manager, and/or Police Department supervisors may be asked to participate in this interview process. Upon completion of the interview and approval of the City Manager, a conditional offer of employment will be made to the top candidate(s). Upon receiving a conditional offer of employment, the candidate will proceed to the final two steps. 17.1.10 Psychological Test A qualified psychologist/psychiatrist will conduct a psychological profile to determine the final candidate’s mental/emotional fitness for the position. This test will be conducted on a pass/fail basis with the results being forwarded to the Chief of Police. 17.1.11 Physical Examination Pursuant to legislative requirements, all Police Officer candidates who have been given a conditional offer of employment will undergo a complete medical/physical examination which shall be conducted by a qualified medical doctor. The medical examination will include blood work, 4
urine drug testing, stress EKG tests, and other required medical tests. Unsatisfactory results of the medical/physical examination may cause the candidate to be disqualified. 17.1.12 Probationary Period Newly appointed full-time Police Officers shall be assigned to the Field Training Officer (FTO) Program for a period of fourteen weeks. Police Officers who have had prior police experience may be permitted, with the approval of the Chief of Police, a shortened training period (see 17.3.12, also).

Pursuant to Codified Ordinance 155.04, all employees of the New Albany Police Department shall be considered probationary employees for a period of one (1) year from the date of appointment or the date of police academy graduation (as applicable). 17.1.13 Lateral Transfer Applicants All lateral transfer applicants who are seeking employment as Full-time Police Officers with the New Albany Police Department must adhere to the Directive 17.1.5 through Directive 17.1.12 of the written Personnel Hiring Process for Police Officers for the New Albany Police Department.
