Lateral Applicants:
Lateral transfers are encouraged to apply and are treated confidentially. We respect the risk of seeking new employment while currently employed. We strive to not disrupt current employment while proceeding through our hiring process. Lateral applications will only be shared with the Chief of Police and three Police Commissioners until they are considered for an interview. A lateral applicant's references and employers will not be contacted without prior authorization from the applicant, and then only when considered for a position.
Lateral applicants will be given prior notification of their position on a hiring list prior to the list becoming public. A lateral applicant may remove their name from consideration up to the point of public posting.
Laterals will be given credit for their service time, and slotted as such on our longevity pay scale up to a maximum of 5 years.
Lateral applicants must email their application directly to the Chief of Police at:
chad.weaver@robinsonpolice.org
The subject line of the email should read "Lateral Applicant - Confidential"
