I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Springfield Police Department - Missouri
Interview
It was very extensive and thorough. It includes an oral panel, polygraph, agility testing, written test, psychological testing, extensive background investigation. Once you pass all that you will begin the police academy. It is 6 months long and very demanding both mentally and physically!
