Is it possible to have an officer talk to our neighborhood group about crime prevention?
Yes! To make an appointment, please call the Fort Dodge Police Department at 515-573-1424. In addition we have a variety of additional topics that can be presented to small and large groups.
How do I apply to be a police officer?
Submit your application and resume to the City of Fort Dodge Human Resources Department. Candidates who are not currently Iowa certified law enforcement officers will take a physical agility test administered by the City of Fort Dodge, Iowa, Civil Service Commission. For those passing the physical agility test, a written Police Officer Selection Test (POST) will be given immediately afterwards. Candidates who are currently an Iowa certified law enforcement officer need only be present for the written POST
