Since the 2023 NJ LEE cycle only involves those departments that have requested a new test and list from the 2023 results, I’ve created an Alphabetical List of those Departments that are included in the 2023 NJ LEE testing cycle:
THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR THE NJ LEE
You can access the formal NJ Civil Service Commission online Application at: NJCSC NJ LEE (Click Here).
The NJCSC CLOSING DATE for NJ LEE applications is set as March 31, 2023.
IMPORTANT: In a very confusing way, the NJCSC has modified the normal application process for the NJ LEE and now requires that interested candidates submit individual applications online for each title and jurisdiction for which he or she would like to be eligible. It is important to note that most jurisdictions have residency preferences, so residents are placed ahead of non-residents on the formal list. Candidates should look at which jurisdictional area is listed as (1) within the column entitled “open to residents of” on the NJCSC job posting portal at: https://info.csc.state.nj.us/vats/. The candidate should compare his or her personal residency location and make sure it matches up with the jurisdictional area listed as (1) in the portal. Hiring agencies will draw from the jurisdictional area listed as (1) as their primary list. Only a few departments in the state make it to the jurisdictional area listed as (2) during the life of the list. Of course, everyone applying is a NJ resident, so everyone is residency eligible for the NJ State titles that are listed. Most of the municipal police agencies have a “residency preference” and pull from their local residents first.
It is important that interested candidates properly apply before the February 28, 2022, closing date and apply to the appropriate jurisdictions and titles considering residency, etc.
NOTE: The NJ LEE is also used for Parole Officer Recruit as well as the NJDOC titles.
I look forward to having the opportunity to help you achieve an exceptional score on the 2022 NJ LEE!
