As part of the Philadelphia Police Department’s ongoing recruitment period, PPD recruiters will staff an informational table at the Philadelphia Auto Show, providing attendees the opportunity to learn about careers with the Department, ask questions, and begin the application process.
Recruiters will be available to discuss eligibility requirements, hiring timelines, and career opportunities within the Philadelphia Police Department. Members of the media covering the Auto Show are welcome to stop by the PPD table.
Special appearances and demonstrations will also be part of the PPD presence at the Auto Show. On Tuesday, February 3, attendees can see PPD drone demonstrations and meet Bailey, the Philadelphia Police Department’s comfort dog.
