If you feel you can meet most of these requirements, you would be a great candidate for the position. Thanks again for your interest! - Candidates must be able to work all shifts.

Expectations would be that you check your personal schedule to see if you are available for the work, a relatively quick response as to yes or no is preferred. - Per-diem officers are not guaranteed work, you can expect hours to be sporadic. Typically, you may be asked to work an entire week or longer if someone goes on vacation, is out on Leave of absence, sick, etc... At the same time, you may go a week or more without work. It really depends on what the needs of the department are at that particular time. - In the summer hours tend to be plentiful, but in the winter, they tend to be reduced as vacation time requests are not as prevalent NEW increased hourly wage, based on experience. In addition to the hourly rate of pay, there is a $1.60 to $7.60 differential depending on shift.
