The City of Aledo is expanding its police department by looking to hire additional officers in 2023. The announcement of additional officer openings was made late last year, and applications will remain open until all expected positions are filled.
The Aledo Police Department provides a wide array of programs and services to the community.
Applicants will need to successfully complete a physical agility test, a comprehensive written test, psychological screening and a medical examination. Officers hired into full-time employment receive a complete benefits package, including paid vacation, holidays, personal days, individual and family health insurance and participation in the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund.
Individuals who have successfully completed the Basic Police Academy and are certified by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board to work as a Law Enforcement Officer in the State of Illinois will be given preference in the hiring process. A lateral hire process is available for fully trained and experienced officers.
