Note: applying to the Wheat Ridge Police Department is a separate process
Step 1: Application received via governmentjobs.com and screened personally by HR for minimum qualifications.
Step 2: Hiring Manager review.
Step 3: May include an initial screening interview before the final interview.
Step 4: Final candidate receives an offer.
Step 5: Background and reference check (and drug screen if in safety-sensitive position, some positions may require a physical).

This process can take up to eight weeks. Jobs are generally posted for about two weeks; it takes at least another week to screen applicants, and then the above-mentioned process can take another four to five weeks. We try to move the process along as quickly as we can.
