Application and Testing Process
 Thank you for inquiring about becoming a police officer with the City of Chula Vista. One of the most frequently asked questions, from future applicants, is “How does the application process work?”
The Chula Vista Police Department and the Human Resources Department currently accept applications for Police Recruit in four groups throughout the year. Each group of applications has an acceptance deadline and the block of applications accepted during that time frame will be utilized to try to fill possible vacancies in a future police academy.
The following outline is a summary of the procedures we use and is only to be considered as a general description of the entire process. Each step must be successfully passed to proceed to the next stage of the process.
Step 1 - Apply on-line or fill out and turn in an application with the Human Resources department at 276 4th Avenue, Chula Vista Ca 91910.
Step 2 - Complete a Written Exam and Physical Agility Test (PAT)
Step 3 - Attend Panel Interviews with Officers and Human Resource Employees
Step 4 - Pass an extensive Background Investigation
Step 5 - Successfully pass the Chief’s Interview
Step 6 - Complete and pass Psychological and Medical Examinations
