The Phoenix Regional Police Academy schedules two Police
Officer Physical Aptitude Tests (POPAT) every month. The
upcoming November 18th test has 80 registered applicants.
However, due to inclement weather forecasted, the event is
being postponed to a later date.

Academy classes, which are now starting every eight weeks, are the most
frequent in Arizona. This change from six to eight weeks came as a result of a
revised AZPOST curriculum. Currently, we have an applicant success rate of
approximately 13%, from background profile submissions to recruits entering
the Academy. This rate compares favorably with similar cities across the
country, as per our peer share discussions.

Implementation of eSOPH hiring platform and other operational improvements contribute to the hiring
rate. eSOPH allows for paperless background process and enhanced screening capabilities. Hiring
requirements for the City of Phoenix and Arizona POST are forward facing, providing greater transparency
for applicants and the community.

The 30x30 Recruitment Working Group's objective is to highlight
the exceptional women serving in the Phoenix Police
Department. This initiative aims to provide a platform for female
officers to share their personal experiences and achievements
throughout their careers. Furthermore, it seeks to encourage and
support the recruitment and representation of more women
within the department.
Officer Marianne Ramirez has been selected as the first female
officer to be featured as part of this campaign. Her story will be
posted on  the JoinPHXPD social media sites and YouTube.

We were on multiple college campuses to include
ASU, GCU, Phoenix College, Estrella Community
College, and Gateway Community College. At GCU
we had multiple tables at career fairs joining
efforts with Communications, Detention, the Lab,
and HR to bring every aspect of PHXPD to the
students.
Recruiting was excited to be a part of the pregame
excitement for the world series to help support the
Arizona D-backs. Our recruiting vehicles  were
positioned out front of the entrance and our
recruiters were in the crowd handing out stickers and
talking with fans. Our vehicles continue to be placed
around the downtown area in high traffic, highly
visible areas. 
Numerous social media posts were created during
the series that focused on hiring for Phoenix Police.
In addition, a collaborative reel featuring PHX Fire
and the D-backs was produced to show support for
the D-backs.

The SWET (Success With Effort and Training) program gives
applicants the opportunity to exercise with our Recruiting
Unit and other physical fitness instructors in preparation
for the Arizona POST-mandated Police Officer Physical
Aptitude Test (POPAT). Sessions are offered twice per week
and are free of charge to anyone in the application
process.

The City of Phoenix is a Trusted Employer with the U.S.
Department of Defense’s (DoD) SkillBridge program.
SkillBridge helps transitioning military members bridge the
gap between the end of service and the beginning of their
civilian careers. DoD will pay all salary and benefits for up
to 180 days for an applicant to participate in a SkillBridge
program, a significant cost savings to the City. Employment
Services directly partners with the Arizona Coalition for
Military Families to help focus on Arizona-based service
members as part of this program.

Several program recruits have recently graduated
from the academy, and we anticipate many
others will follow suit. Our attendance records
remain consistently high, and we are pleased to
report that female attendance for the last several
weeks has been at or above 50%.

Details including SAU, Air Unit, K9 and more were photographed in a unique way that will help highlight
the stories behind our Sworn and Professional team members. 
Marketing collaborated with US Marines Recruitment for a video about
former Marines interested in law enforcement careers. Sergeant Brian Bower
spoke about both the SkillBridge program and his personal experience
transitioning from the military to PHX PD. Our Marines Recruiting POC also
interviewed a former-Marine PHX PD Officer about his experience.
 The video, after completed, will be broadcast internally on military
platforms.
