The journey to becoming a member of the Kansas City Missouri Police Department just got easier.

For the first time, those interested in working at KCPD now can apply online. The place to do it is careers.kcpd.org. The site lists job openings, walks applicants through the multi-step application process, allows applicants to ask questions and more.

“It used to be you’d have to come downtown to apply – sometimes multiple times in the initial screening process,” Deputy Chief Karl Oakman said. “We’ve put that all online now to make it easier for people who want join us in protecting and serving Kansas City.”

Although it has not been publicized, 99 people already have registered to apply with the site since it went live Jan. 23.
