Police Officers:

To become a Police Officer, applicants will have to go through a rigorous selection process that includes both physical and written exams. If they pass these exams, they will then be selected to continue to an employee interview board and undergo a thorough background check. Moreover, applicants will be required to undergo psychological testing, a polygraph exam, and a medical screening.
