Savannah, GA-Police
If I could, I would work down there in a minute. Beautiful city. And c'mon you can sit at the same bench Forrest Gump sat on. Also, any place that will give you "to go" cups at a bar is pretty cool. (its legal)

From Georgia Certified Peace Officers.
Qualifications
21 Years of Age
US Citizen
Valid Driver's License
Vision Correctable to 20/20
No Felony Convictions
No Pattern of Misdemeanor Convictions or Traffic Violations
Testing & Processing
Written Exam
Physical Ability Test
Oral Exam
After successfully completing the initial testing, your name will be placed on an eligibility register which is good for 1 year. A thorough background investigation, including a polygraph, will be conducted. Upon tentative selection by the Chief of Police, you will take a written exam administered by the Georgia Peace Officers Standards and Training Council (POST), a medical exam, and a drug screen. Failure of any of these tests disqualifies the applicant. (Those who have completed a Georgia police academy are not required to take a written test or the POST entrance exam.)
Training
Initial training consists of a 10 week state mandate academy. Most candidates will attend the Armstrong Atlantic State University Criminal Justice Training Center, located in Savannah. However, other academies around the state of Georgia may also be used.
Upon completion of the academy, you will receive an additional 5 weeks of training at SCMPD.
Your training will continue during your first assignment at one of the six Patrol Bureau Precincts. Here you will be assigned to a certified Police Training Officer for your "hands on" training, which will last about 17 weeks.
Once you have completed field training, you will begin working solo. However, your training will continue through evaluations and follow-up training.
The probationary period is for the first 12 months of employment with SCMPD.
Salaries
SCMPD officers work a 40 hour week, and are paid bi-weekly. The salaries listed are for police officer trainees with no prior law enforcement experience in Georgia. Applicants with at least 2 years prior law enforcement experience as a patrol officer may start at a higher rate of pay. Credit may be given for experience gained as a military police officer, or as a sworn officer with a law enforcement agency outside the State of Georgia.
Contact SCMPD Recruitment for more information concerning salaries and promotions.
The City of Savannah has a pay for performance plan which allows all city employees to earn up to a 2.5% pay increase. This pay for performance increase is over and above any cost of living increase which may be granted each year.
