The Beverly Hills Police Department makes every effort to recruit the most qualified applicants for all positions. To ensure this, a series of examinations and testing procedures have been developed that meet the minimum job specifications.
Following successful completion of all procedures, an applicant will either be hired or be placed on an eligibility list. When employed, an officer will serve as a probationary employee for a period of up to 18 months, at which time they will be granted regular employment status if they successfully complete their probationary period. Lateral police officers will serve as probationary employees for a period of 12 months.
