“By joining our department, you will have the opportunity to become a member of our specialized assignments ranging from Emergency Response Team, K9 Team, Urban Search and Recovery Team, School Resource Officers, Aviation Unit, Detectives, and so much more,” Holloway added in the release.
The following sections of the hiring event will be completed on site:
