The Trenton Police Department is seeking new law enforcement officers. The department aims to build a team focused on safety and well-being for all Trenton residents.
The department is looking for candidates between 18 and 35 years old with a valid New Jersey driver’s license and a high school dip
loma, GED, or state equivalent certificate. Applicants should have strong employment histories and must pass a physical fitness agility test, meet standards set by the New Jersey Police Training Commission, and clear a background check.
“The Trenton Police Department is rooted in the community, and our mission is to build a police force that reflects the community we serve, ensuring fairness, trust, and respect in all interactions,” stated Trenton Police Director Steve Wilson. “We are actively recruiting passionate individuals who possess a strong sense of duty, a commitment to community service, and a desire to make a positive impact.”
