The Knox Board of Works members will be interviewing three candidates to fill an open position on the Knox City Police Department’s roster.
Police Chief Harold Smith said 31 applications were initially requested and nine came back to the department. Those applicants went through knowledge and agility testing. Smith will be conducting background checks and other paperwork on three of the applicants and they will be interviewed by the Knox Board of Works members by the end of January.
Only one of the applicants has previous training. The rest do not have any training. The officer hired will fill the seventh officer position on the department.
