Frequently Asked Questions

There is no residency requirement for City of Cherry Hills Village positions. 

Applicants sending in resumes without a completed application will not be considered for employment until we have received a completed City application.  Applications should be filled out completely and the words “See Resume” should not be used on the past employment section. 

Interviews, which are generally conducted by a panel of City representatives, are usually scheduled about two to three weeks following the application closing date.  For police positions, the total hiring process can take as long as two to three months.  For non-police positions, the total hiring process usually takes one to two months. 

For certain positions, job-related testing may occur in order to ensure an applicant’s skills.  For example, an applicant for a clerical position must successfully complete a clerical exercise before a job offer can be made. 

For regular year-round positions, a final candidate must first successfully complete a series of background screens, which may include a criminal check, a DMV driving check, a credit check, a polygraph exam, a psychological exam (for sworn police candidates only), a drug screen, and a physical exam. 

The City retains solicited job applications for two years.  We do not retain unsolicited job applications or resumes. 

The City makes its best effort to notify all applicants of job status.  However, due to the volume of applicants we receive for each open position, we are sometimes unable to notify every applicant who is not being considered for employment.  However, the City does keep all interviewed candidates abreast of job status. 

You will need to check in with the Bailiff. You will be given a written copy of your Advisements of Rights. You will meet with the Prosecuting Attorney to discuss the charge against you, and after that the Judge will call each person to the podium individually in the order you checked in with the Bailiff.

We are not allowed to give legal advice. If you would like to speak to an attorney,  you can ask the Judge for a continuance and come back at a later date.

Yes. The Municipal Court Clerk will schedule your trial and give you written notice on when to return. It is your responsibility to be sure you have all your witnesses available on the day of your trial.

We would prefer that children not be brought to court. If you do need to bring them, they must remain quiet.

Jury trials are only granted if the charge you’ve been given has jail time associated with it. All jury requests must be submitted in writing and accompanied by a $25 jury fee.

It depends on when you check in with the Bailiff, but generally it will last between 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

The fine is determined by the Judge based on your charge and driving record.

Cash, money orders, checks, and all major credit / debit cards are acceptable forms of payment.

If you cannot pay your fine, you can ask the Judge to grant an extension. If an extension is granted, you will work with the Municipal Court Clerk on an acceptable payment plan.

Depending on the charge, the Court may issue a bench warrant for your arrest and / or your driving privileges may be suspended. If a warrant is issued, you will be responsible for paying the additional warrant fees along with your fine before the warrant will be cancelled.
