We've partnered with Developmental Associates, a firm with an extensive background in local government human resources and management consulting, to help us in this process of searching for, assessing, and selecting the next Apex Chief of Police. The process will involve multiple steps, listed below, beginning with hearing from those we serve.

After community needs have been determined, candidate application will begin. The search will be conducted nationwide, ensuring the best pool of candidates have the opportunity to learn about this opportunity in Apex.

Step 3: Assessment
Thorough screening and evaluation of candidates will narrow the search.
