Employment Status
All newly hired police offers serve a probationary period of one year, during which time they may be discharged by the Police Chief. Upon satisfactory completion of the probationary period, a police officer has achieved permanent status and is then governed by the City of Hot Springs Civil Service Commission.
All new hires are classified as Police Officer. Promotional guidelines are outlined by the department's promotion system.
During an officer's first year of employment, he/she will be required to attend the Police Training Academy. This training generally extends for a 12-week period; your regular pay from the City is continued while you are attending training. Officers who are certified through another state may only be required to attend a refresher course. These cases are reviewed on an individual basis.
