Application Process
Employment Application
All applicants who wish to become Del City Police Officers must begin with completing an application for employment through the City’s Human Resources Office. Once the application is received, the applicant undergoes a Minimum Qualifications Review.
Personal History Questionnaire (PHQ)
Applicants who have successfully completed the Minimum Qualifications Review will be required to submit a Personal History Questionnaire (PHQ) through our background investigation software managed by Guardian Alliance Technologies. The applicant will receive an “invitation” to complete the PHQ and submit several completed documents made available through the Guardian Software. You will also be required to upload copies of other documents necessary to complete your background investigation.
Polygraph Examination
Applicants selected to proceed in the process will be scheduled for a polygraph examination. You will receive more information when you are contacted by the examiner.
Pending the successful completion of your application and background review the applicant will be submitted to the Chief of Police for final approval.
Medical Examination and Psychological Evaluation
Once an applicant receives a “Conditional Offer of Employment,” they must complete a medical examination, including drug and alcohol, testing along with a psychological evaluation. The medical examination is required to be accepted in the Oklahoma State Police Pension and Retirement System. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) or similar instrument will be administered by a licensed psychologist.
