Previous Release: 

Drury University will host law enforcement agencies from across the region for a job fair and hiring combine on March 19 at the Drury Findley Student Center on Drury Lane. The event will take place from noon – 6 p.m. Anyone interested in entering a career in law enforcement, lateral candidates looking to move agencies or anyone pursuing a career in criminal justice are encouraged to attend. Representatives from more than 20 agencies in Missouri, Arkansas and Kansas are expected to be in attendance.

Prior to the job fair, Drury University Law Enforcement Academy personnel will distribute and monitor the standardized Missouri Police Chiefs written exam and physical agility test. Participation is not required, and attendees can choose to take both portions or one. Testing is free and will begin at 8 a.m.

“There is a lot of value in this event for anyone interested in criminal justice or law enforcement,” says Drury University Law Enforcement Academy Director Tony Bowers. “Attendees will have the opportunity to network and engage one-on-one with several agencies all in one location. And for those who decide to participate in the testing process, they can then present those results to agencies in attendance for feedback or submission.”

Registration ahead of time is required for those who would like to participate in testing.
