After applying online, your application will be reviewed to determine that you meet the minimum qualifications. If you meet the minimum qualifications your name will be placed on a hiring roster. When there are vacancies at either of the two centers, your name will be included on a hiring certificate that is sent to the hiring officials at the Department of Public Safety. The hiring officials will screen the applications to determine which applicants will move on to the next step in which you will be required to take the CritiCall Test which includes a typing/keyboarding module. CritiCall is a computer based software program to test the applicant on the computer and other job related skills.
Upon successful completion of the CritiCall test with a passing score of 80, and achieving a minimum 35 words per minute on the typing/keyboard module, qualified applicants will be interviewed by a hiring panel. Both the CritiCall test and the interview are generally held at the Vermont State Police Office of Professional Development located in Pittsford, Vermont.
