ROCHESTER, N.Y.- Looking for a job as a police officer? The Rochester Police Department is looking for more officers and the deadline to apply is approaching fast.

The deadline to apply is Friday, April 4. Once you submit an application, you’ll need to complete a written exam on Saturday, May 4, and an agility test, which will take place on June 20, 21, and 22.

The department said they are looking to recruit 100 people.

“We’re getting recruitment classes through, but people are retiring quicker than we can backfill these positions,” said Sgt. Justin Collins. “So one of the benefits of becoming a police officer is that you can retire after 20 years.”

Collins said their goal is to find “fantastic,” applicants and be able to retain them.

In order to become a police officer, a person must meet the following requirements:

• United States Citizen
• High School Diploma or GED
• Must be at least 19 years-of-age and not have reached your 35th birthday on or before the date of the written test (except as defined in Section 243 (10-a) of the Military Law), and must be at least 20 years-of-age at the time of appointment.
• Valid Driver License
• No Felony Convictions
• Good Moral Character and Physical Condition
• Residency is not an application requirement but you must reside in Monroe County or any of the surrounding counties of Genesee, Livingston, Ontario, Orleans, or Wayne upon appointment.

The department stated that after 44 months on the job, the earning salary will be over $107,000. For more information or to find the application, click here.
