ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY – The Rockland County Department of Personnel has announced the upcoming Civil Service Exam for Correction Officer positions within the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office. Applications are now open, with a strict deadline of August 22, 2025.

This exam cycle marks a shift from the traditional written multiple-choice test. Instead, candidates will complete an online examination questionnaire designed to evaluate their education, training, and work experience—a format aimed at modernizing the hiring process and highlighting qualifications beyond test-taking skills.

Key Dates and Details:

– Application Deadline: August 22, 2025

– Online Questionnaire Submission Period: September 1 – September 30, 2025 (deadline is 11:59 p.m.)

– Physical Fitness Test: Scheduled for October 9, 2025

Qualified applicants will receive an email with detailed instructions and a secure link to complete the Training and Experience Questionnaire online during the submission period. This questionnaire will be a key factor in determining candidate eligibility and ranking.

In addition to the questionnaire, all candidates must pass a qualifying Physical Fitness Test, scheduled to take place on October 9, 2025, to be considered for appointment.

This is an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking a career in law enforcement and corrections to join the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office, which plays a critical role in public safety and the operation of correctional facilities in the county.

For full details, application materials, and exam announcements, interested applicants should visit the Rockland County Department of Personnel website or contact the office directly.

Ramapo Police Chief Daniel Hyman announced that the department will not move forward with a planned test of a new generation of automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras, citing privacy concerns and the need to balance law enforcement technology with constitutional protections.

Hyman said the technology being considered goes beyond the department’s existing fixed license plate readers. While current cameras primarily capture license plates to help identify wanted or stolen vehicles and assist with criminal investigations, the newer systems include advanced investigative analytics and vehicle-identification capabilities.

“Those capabilities can provide tremendous value to law enforcement, but they also raise legitimate questions about privacy and the appropriate limits of government technology,” Hyman said.

Hyman emphasized that the decision does not affect the traditional fixed LPR cameras currently used by the Ramapo Police Department and does not represent a rejection of license plate reader technology overall.

Instead, he said the department is exercising caution because of the expanded capabilities of the newer systems.

“Our responsibility is to protect both” public safety and constitutional protections, Hyman said.
