Currently the Hudson County Sheriff's Office performs all hiring by utilizing a Civil Service List maintained by the New Jersey Department of Personnel. Applications are available every January by visiting the the Department of Personnel website, and downloading the forms. Forms are in .pdf format. Applications are then mailed in along with a $25.00 fee to them directly.

In the spring you will be notified via postal mail of your testing date, and testing location.

Once you have taken the LECR (Law Enforcement Candidate Record) you will be ranked according to score, and you will be notified accordingly. All sheriff's officer hiring are done in this manner. If your ranking is high enough, you will be certified by the Department of Personnel and the hiring procedure will begin with the appointing authority.

Please do not contact the Hudson County Sheriff's Office for employment info, since there are no exceptions to this procedure. If you would like further information you must contact the Department Of Personnel directly.
