When your a cop, do you sign a contract before employment?

Is it similar to an enlistment in the military or can you quit anytime?How hard would it be to get laid off?

Our department, and several others in the state, require a three year commitment to offset the cost of training. If you quit before three years, they prorate the cost, currently estimated at over $8,000.

Most departments are union labor, so getting laid off is outlined in the union contract. It is done by seniority. I've never heard of anyone being laid off, but some departments have an occasional hiring freeze, or lose a position through attrition (not replacing someone who retires or quits)

Most departments are union and you also take an oath to serve and protect. You can resign getting laid off is a different story most departments won't do that unless the tax-base that is paying for the Police is low or they are running out of money.

They sure do, and they make an oath. You can resign whenever your like, and to be laid off their has to be a downsizing in that specific branch, or medical reasons also do occur

Not really a contract, but they do swear on an oath.
