Welcome to the Rochester Police Department
The Rochester Police Department in conjunction with Police Exam Solutions is now accepting registrations for their newly announced Entrance Exam scheduled for In-Home Testing during the week of October 5 - October 9, 2020.
​
The Department employs 11 full-time officers, 5 part-time officers and a number of reserve officers serving a population of approximately 5,500 residents. The department will be holding an entrance exam to fill several part time openings over the next six months and full-time positions in the future.
​
Because of the small size of the department, officers handle many of their own cases from start to finish. This allows officers the opportunity to participate in investigations, write and serve warrants, and make arrests as a result of their own work.
​
Rochester police officers also have the opportunity to participate on a number of the departments specialized units such as bike patrol and ATV patrol as well as, being able to join the specialized units attached to the Southeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council (SEMLEC), such as the dive team, SWAT team, and search and rescue team.
​
Any questions are to be directed to Police Exam Solutions. Please do not call the police department directly, as it may disqualify you from being hired.
​
This is a great opportunity for you, or anyone you may know who is interested in policing, to participate in the entry level testing process and possibly earn a career in law enforcement.
​
We appreciate your interest in the Rochester Police Department, and look forward to seeing you in September!
