DURANT – The Durant Police Department will host an open testing event on Friday, January 6 at 1 p.m. Open testing is a physical fitness challenge and is one of the first steps to joining the department as an officer.
The police department is actively recruiting and applicants need not be CLEET certified.
“What I think some people don’t know is that we (the police department) will send you to the CLEET academy once you’re hired,” said Joe Clark, Interim Chief of Police. “We are seeking both certified and non-certified applicants.”
The Durant Police reported a successful testing event in December.
“We had five promising candidates show up and test, and they are taking the next steps to become officers,” Clark said.
“If you have any interest in joining the department, you are welcome to show up and test. You do not have to submit a job application first, and this is a great way to see if this could be the career for you.” 
For updates on this and future testing opportunities, Like the Durant Police Department on Facebook.
To sign up or learn more about open testing, please contact jclark@durant.org by Thursday, January 5.
