DOTHAN:      The City of Dothan Police Department is accepting applications for Dothan Police Officer.


Understand a couple of things before you apply. Dothan Police Department does a background check on you. Some things they will accept and some things they will not.


One thing, you can not have done any drugs within the past two years. Yes, they realize things have happened during your youth years that if a person could take back they would not have done. But it is automatic out if you have done drugs within the past two years.


You are required to pass a polygraph test. While I am not a polygraph operator some of the test is to scare you into telling things. Scare you. Do not take my word for that so don't test the system.


You are to be truthful. But you would be surprised how people apply, how they show up for interviews, and expect to be considered as a serious contender for a police officer job.


DOTHAN POLICE CHIEF STEVE PARRISH:   A good honest man to work for. He will expect you to put in a full days work for a full days pay. He will expect you to have common sense. A police officer's job is not all about how many you can put in jail or how many tickets you can write. Do not make stupid cases, but make solid cases.


Chief Parrish demands respectful officers to each other and most especially to the public. Chief Parrish gets furious when he makes 10 steps forward and you cause him to make five steps backwards because you were stupid.


So the expectations of you as a police officer from Dothan Police Chief Parrish are high. He will not accept or tolerate any less.


But you will have a boss that will fight and support the officer in the performance of their job, when the job is done right. But do not think you can come in and do a half job and get by.


If so, Dothan Police Department is not the place for you under Steve Parrish command as Chief of Police.


Also understand, STEVE PARRISH, "IS" the Chief of Police for Dothan Alabama. Not Mike West. He is respectful to the leadership but will not waive his values and expectations of a professional agency for anyone. He will fight for the employees.


He manages the Dothan Police Department and is an effective manager with very high expectations. 



***NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR POLICE OFFICER*** Applications must be complete and submitted by June 30, 2018.


SPREAD THE WORD!!! Your career starts now.
