The Santa Clara Police Department proudly launched www.IamSCPD.org, a new website dedicated to recruiting law enforcement professionals to the City of Santa Clara.
Our goal is to recruit the next generation of Santa Clara Police Department employees with quality applicants from a variety of background that represent our community in age, race, ethnicity, gender identity and sexual orientation to provide inclusive police service.
The new website will serve as a starting point for per diem opportunities, civilian professionals, prospective police recruits and seasoned police officers. It serve as an on-going resource through the recruitment process, including application requirements for per diem and full-time positions, salary and benefit information, a virtual tour of the Police Department, tips on successfully maneuvering the recruitment process and answers to commonly asked questions.
This new recruitment tool is intended to help the Santa Clara Police Department meet the evolving needs of our growing community. It allows potential candidates to "meet" members of our organization, walks candidates through this unique recruitment process, showcases why individuals get into law enforcement and why our organization is so well respected by our community and in the profession.
“We need the next generation of law enforcement professionals to rise up and accept the challenge of not only protecting and serving, but becoming a valuable resource to our most vulnerable community members," said Police Chief Pat Nikolai. “If you want to help others, if you want more than just a job, if you want to leave this community better than you found it, then consider applying to become one of the newest members of the Santa Clara Police Department.”
Share www.IamSCPD.org among your neighborhood group, school community, place of worship, volunteer organization, social media threads or anywhere you come in contact with problem-solvers with high integrity. Doing so will help us provide community policing that Santa Clara residents want and expect from our department.
