Typical police hiring process for Texas....but Allen is a smaller agency, so the time was a bit surprising. Process took a bit over 60 days for final offer (by that time I had been offered another position). It consisted of: Written Test/Physical Fitness Test-Full Day Personality Test- 2 hours Full Background Investigation-about 30 days Drug Test-1 hour Panel Interview-1 hour Offered a position about 2 days after the panel interview
