Westchester County Corrections Exam

The Westchester County Department of Human Resources is responsible for civil service administration for Westchester County,the Westchester Medical Center,the cities of Peekskill and Rye and all of the towns and villages in the county and their associated school districts.The cities of Mount Vernon,New Rochelle,White Plains and Yonkers are separate civil service agencies,and administer their own examinations independent of Westchester County.The positions under our jurisdiction represent a wide variety of careers.Under New York State Civil Service Law,individuals seeking employment in the competitive class of civil service must compete in an examination process for selection by merit and fitness.Examinations may be specifically scheduled (periodic) and open to the public (open competitive),or open to current permanent employees only (promotional),or they may be held as continuous recruitment examinations.
