1. Can I turn in a resume only?

A City of Anacortes employment application must be completed in order to be considered for review.  A cover letter and resume may accompany the employment application.

2. I am interested in becoming a police officer, firefighter/EMT, or firefighter/paramedic. How do I begin the application process?

The City of Anacortes recruits for police officers, firefighter/EMTs, and firefighter/paramedics with the assistance of Public Safety Testing. The Public Safety Testing is the basis for the City contacting entry level candidates when we are establishing a Civil Service Eligibility List. Lateral candidates should apply directly on our Employment Opportunities page when an opening exists.
