What is the procedure for Employment with the Cape May County Sheriffs Office?
The two types of Law Enforcement positions available within the Sheriff’s Office are Sheriff’s Officer and Correctional Officer. To be eligible for either position, you must first file a LAW ENFORCEMENT SERIES APPLICATION with the New Jersey Department of Personnel to take the examination for these positions. We hire only from the pool of eligible candidates that are generated from this examination. Your score and ranking on this eligibility list will remain active for a period of two years and you can not retest until the expiration of that list. To file for the examination, you must check with local Law Enforcement Agencies, Libraries or Post Offices between the months of October and December of each year. You can also log onto the Department of Personnel web site at www.state.nj.us/personnel for job bulletins and announcements on Law Enforcement for these Titles. You may also contact the NJ Department of Personnel directly at their information number (609) 292-4144. Any presently em
