We need your help to stay paywall free

We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.

If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.

Will you be one of the 5%?

The civil service examination process begins with a physical fitness test on Saturday, May 10, 2025, followed by a written exam scheduled for Thursday, May 15, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. at Borough Hall, located at 55 East Main Street in Waynesboro. While the oral portion of the testing process has not yet been scheduled, interested applicants can obtain application packets in person during regular business hours or request them via email. All completed applications, including attachments, must be received by the Civil Service Commission by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, May 5, 2025.

In an effort to enhance recruitment, Waynesboro is offering up to $67,579 for candidates who are already Act 120 certified. Additionally, those with this certification are eligible for a $15,000 sign-on bonus. The Borough is also providing up to $1,000 in relocation reimbursement to help successful applicants move within the required residency area.

Veterans will receive additional preference points in accordance with local civil service regulations. Notably, applicants do not need to be Act 120 certified to take the exam, though certification or its equivalent will earn candidates an additional ten points during the selection process. The Borough emphasizes that hiring will be based solely on candidates’ ability to perform the duties of a police officer and maintains a non-discriminatory, affirmative action employment policy.
