Anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the department you apply to, the availability of the position, and their hiring practices.

The average department takes applications, then after reviewing them, schedules physical agility tests, psychological tests, background checks, polygraph tests, a medical physical, and oral interviews.
This could take months. That is why most departments take applicaitons even when they are at full staff, to have the process started to fill future vacancies.

Sometimes depends on the size of the department, and whether they advertised for an officer!~!
