Becoming a Stowe Police Officer

Individuals interested in joining the Stowe Police Department as a full-time or part-time officer will proceed through the following steps:

1. Submit a resume and cover letter explaining your interest in a position to the Chief.

2. Qualified candidates will be interviewed at the Stowe Police Department in Stowe.

3. Any candidate must pass a background and character check as well as written, psychological, and physical training tests to meet standards established by the Vermont Criminal Justice Training Council. All testing is conducted at the Vermont Police Academy in Pittsford, Vermont. Details on testing and physical standards are posted at the VCJTC web site: www.vcjtc.state.vt.us

4. Full-time candidates who are hired are required to attend the 16-week Full-Time Academy.

7. All officers receive continual training in areas ranging from first aid and CPR to firearms proficiency, tactics, officer safety, community relations, and dozens of other skills. The learning will never stop for a Stowe police officer.
