The Edison Police Department is seeking applicants to serve as auxiliary police officers. The application must be submitted no later than 4 p.m. on Nov. 2.
Auxiliary police officers are unpaid volunteers. Positions are available for U.S. citizens, age 18 or older, with a high school diploma or equivalency diploma and a valid state driver’s license. Applicants must be in good physical condition, pass a criminal background check and oral interviews. The applicants should be Edison residents, or live in towns near Edison that do not have auxiliary police officers of their own.
The auxiliary officers augment the Edison Police Department by assisting with traffic control, crowd control and security, road closures, extra patrols in parks and public properties, and may be dispatched to emergency or disaster situations.
If selected, applicants are required to attend the Middlesex County Auxiliary Police Academy for training on most Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings and some Saturdays from March to June 2019.
