PoliceApp.Com is a Home Run for NJ Police Recruitment
Police Departments across the country are seeing a sharp drop in applications, with some cities reporting
declines of up to 90%. New Jersey public safety agencies, on the other hand, are receiving more
applications than ever. The reason? PoliceApp.com.
Since partnering with PoliceApp in March 2015, participating
departments have seen a significant increase in applications from a
more diverse applicant pool. It’s also saving time and money and
has been able to reduce the resources necessary to manage the
recruitment process. With PoliceApp, departments have two
options: simply post positions, or take advantage of the full power
of PoliceApp’s online application and applicant tracking. The best
part? Both options are free!

How PoliceApp
Process
Improves
the
Recruiting
Promotion
PoliceApp gives departments several ways to improve their
promotional efforts to attract a broader, more diverse pool of
quality applicants, including working with departments to reach
their objectives and leveraging PoliceApp’s vast applicant database,
social media outlets, and other recruitment channels to help get
the word out.
Process Management & Tracking
Law enforcement recruitment is extremely time consuming,
complete and costly. PoliceApp was custom-designed by law
enforcement professionals and technology experts to address those
issues, so it is uniquely suited to streamline law enforcement
recruitment with an online application and candidate tracking sys-
tem that keeps staff organized, and saves time and money.

“The time savings alone in organizing
and tracking each applicant’s progress
through the process make it a
worthwhile choice. Officers did not have
to spend a lot of time organizing and
reviewing applicant information. Instead
of printing out form letters or calling
each applicant, all communication was
sent by email. This process logged all
communications and even showed when
the notification was opened and it was
read.”
Essex Fells PD
“We were able to process 458
applications very easily. One person was
able to handle the whole administrative
process relatively easily. Without
PoliceApp.com it would have easily
taken 3-4 times the manpower to run
the process.”
