Our progressive department offers a wide range of promotional and specialized assignment opportunities, including Patrol, Sergeant, Detective, Tactical Response Team, School Resource Officer, Field Training Officer, and more. Officers work ten (10) hour shifts with every other weekend off.
Officer salaries range from $40.87 to $50.15 per hour, with additional educational incentives and longevity increases at 4, 8, and 20 years of service.
