Facebook Helps Police Department Recruit Officers

When Police Chief Kris Wolski and Lieutenant Bryan Ervin posted a shout-out for qualified applicants to apply for a job on the department’s Facebook page, they reportedly received more than 400 applications, which is the largest pool of applicants they’ve ever had, according to the Palladium-Item.

“It’s a new age,” Wolski said. “The bulk of our applications came through electronic media.” He said they received applicants from Alaska, California, Miami, Florida and “all points in between.”
