In order to be considered for employment as a Hamilton Township Police Officer in an entry-level law enforcement position, candidates must pass a written exam called the Law Enforcement Examination (LEE). In addition to the Township of Hamilton residency requirement, the Hamilton Township Police Division uses the testing and certification of the New Jersey Civil Service Commission (NJCSC). "This section shall not apply to those positions which are exempted from residency requirements by state statute." "All persons appointed by the mayor as employees of the township shall be residents of the township at the time of application for employment, which residency shall be continuously maintained up to and including the date of appointment." See NJ.A.C. You must be a resident of Hamilton Township at the time of your application and also at the time of appointment per Hamilton Township Ordinance 106-6: Considering a career with the Hamilton Township Police Division?
