Recruitment push: police report about 33 applicants after NIPSTA outreach
Summary
Prospect Heights police said recruitment outreach at NIPSTA's testing sessions led to about 33 applicants and several ride-alongs; Sergeant Diol and Director Gentry were credited with spearheading the effort.
Chief Dermen described active recruitment efforts, including attendance at NIPSTA testing days and setting up a table to speak with potential applicants. He said outreach has produced "about 33 applicants" so far and led to several ride-alongs that give candidates exposure to departmental operations.
Dermen credited Sergeant Diol and Director Gentry with leading the recruitment campaign and said more outreach is planned before the testing deadline. The initiative is intended to show prospective officers what policing in Prospect Heights is like and to increase the applicant pool ahead of hiring tests.
