MOU status: DoD MOU current through May 28, 2028.

What these labels mean

MOU active: An MOU is the agreement between an employer and the SkillBridge program. When it expires, the employer has to renew it before it can take new service members.
MOU expires soon: The agreement ends within 90 days. That is not a reason to rule a program out. It is a reason to ask the employer where the renewal stands.
MOU expired: The date on the government listing has passed. We still show the program, because hiding it would shrink this directory in a way we could not explain. Confirm status with the employer before you apply.
MOU date not stated: The government listing carries no expiration date for this organization.
Detailed listing: The employer filled in most of its record: length, delivery method, eligibility, and a description of the work.
Partial listing: Some of those fields are filled in and some are blank.
Sparse listing: Very little of the record is filled in. That is common, and it is not a judgment about the program or the employer. It does mean you will have to ask them more questions directly.

Dates come from the government SkillBridge export. We do not screen, rank, or endorse organizations, and we take nothing from them.

Summary

We aim to introduce service members to law enforcement by providing to them the same in-house training our newly hired officers get before attending the police academy. This opportunity will also give service members the chance to complete all of our hiring process during the six-week program, allowing us to extend a conditional job offer at the end of the program after meeting all requirements.

Eligibility

For the Skill Bridge program, service members must be able to pass an initial background check. To be hired as a law enforcement officer with our department, they must also pass a physical agility test, a written test, and a more in-depth background check before interviewing with the Chief of Police. A Physical, Psychological, and Polygraph test are required prior to a conditional offer of employment.

What the work involves

McPherson Police Officers are required to enforce all federal, state, and local laws and ordinances; protect the life, property, and peace for the citizens of McPherson; make arrests, serve warrants, and issue citations, operate and maintain law enforcement equipment; perform traffic control and building checks; investigate major crimes; build relationships with the public; and provide credible testimony at any court proceedings. This Skill Bridge opportunity will expose service members to all of these and will prepare you for a successful career in law enforcement.
