Supervisory Police Officer

What you would do

• Serve as a shift supervisor for law enforcement at Army installations.
• Manage personnel administration, including performance reviews, complaints and discipline.
• Provide sworn testimony based on investigative findings.
• Direct the work of assigned law enforcement officers.

Do you qualify for GS-9?

With experience: You need one year of specialized experience, which is work typical of the next lower grade (GS-8). It includes law enforcement work such as patrol or investigations, training others on law enforcement rules, and leading security or law enforcement teams. Unpaid and volunteer experience counts too.

With education: Education cannot replace experience at this grade.

Licenses and certifications you need:

• Valid state motor vehicle license
• Valid local government driver's license
• CPR and first aid certification

How to apply well

What to send:

• Resume, two pages or less, showing employer, job title, start and end dates (month and year), hours per week, and duties
• Copy of your license or certification, or you will be rated ineligible
• Proof of U.S. citizenship
• Pre-Employment Certification Statement for Selective Service registration, if you are a man born after 1959
• Most recent performance appraisal, if applicable
• Cover letter (optional)

How you will be rated: Your application is reviewed using your resume, your answers to the online questionnaire, and your supporting documents. If you inflate your qualifications or experience, you may lose consideration, and missing documents can make your application incomplete.

Tips for this job:

• Your resume must show hours per week for each job, or your application may be marked incomplete.
• Experience alone counts for this job, so make sure your resume clearly describes qualifying work.
• Upload your license or certification copy with your application, or you will be rated ineligible.
