Overview
The Polizia di Stato, Italy's national civil police, recruits through separate public competitions (concorsi) for each career path. This page covers what the Polizia di Stato competitions page itself states. The detailed rules (age, education, tests, dates) are in the bando of each competition, which is not repeated here.
The competitions are handled by the Servizio Concorsi, split into two divisions:
The first division handles competitions for the career of functionaries and the role of inspectors who carry out police functions, the matching technical-scientific careers and roles, and the orchestra players of the Polizia di Stato.
The second division handles competitions for the roles of superintendents and of agents and assistants who carry out police functions, the matching technical-scientific roles, the sports groups, and direct hiring of relatives of victims of duty.
