POLICE POSITIONS ONLY: I was recently disqualified for a Police Department position. When may I reapply?
If you were permanently disqualified, you may never reapply for a Police Department position with the City of La Mesa. If you failed any portion of the examination (written test, physical abilities test, oral interview) you may not re-apply until 12 months after the date of the failure notice. If you pass all phases of the examination process but fail the background check, you may not re-apply until 24 months after the date of the disqualification notice. If you received a non-select letter, you may reapply any time there is another recruitment open.
