TPD partners with community organizations to sponsor prep for police
officer exam
TOPEKA, Kan. – On Tuesday, February 14, 2023, the Topeka Police Department (TPD) announced its
partnership with Fellowship Hi-Crest Church and Sunflower Community Inc. to provide prep for the
police officer exam. This community-based workforce event is aimed at assisting job seekers in Topeka
interested in a career in law enforcement.
“In an effort to remove barriers to employment and recruit a workforce that’s representative of the
community, TPD is taking the police officer exam out into the community and sponsoring a tutoring
session for 10 applicants” said Police Chief Bryan Wheeles. “Typically, TPD holds police officer exams at
the Law Enforcement Center, but through this partnership we hope to encourage folks in the
community to ask questions and equip themselves with the tools to take the exam and begin a career
with TPD.”
The program consists of an informational meeting held on February 25, a tutoring session held on March
11 and the Police Officer Exam on March 25. All of the events will be held at Fellowship Hi-Crest Church
located at 455 SE Golf Park Blvd. The informational meeting and tutoring session will give applicants an
opportunity to learn about TPD’s application process, the components of the exam and ask any
questions about employment with the police department.
Details about the Informational Meeting can be found here.
