About the Police Department:

The Concord Police Department is committed to delivering top-notch police services aimed at enhancing community safety, safeguarding lives and property, and minimizing crime and its associated fears. Our mission involves fostering partnerships with the community, actively engaging in problem-solving, and enhancing the overall safety and quality of life in our city.

Responsibilities in this Role:

As a Trainee, you will be required to attend a POST-approved Police Academy. Acceptance into the Academy, which necessitates passing a POST-approved written examination, is a prerequisite for employment in this role.

This position is categorized as a non-sworn, entry-level training role. Employees in this classification are temporary, at-will employees entitled only to mandatory benefits as mandated by law, and do not hold Police Officer status while in training.

Upon successful completion of the Academy, Trainees will be promoted and will receive the annual salary and full benefits associated with a regular full-time, sworn Police Officer with the Concord Police Department.

Ideal Candidate Profile:
  • Ability to accurately observe and recall names, faces, numbers, incidents, and locations.
  • Capacity to think and act swiftly in emergency situations.
  • Skill in assessing situations and individuals accurately.
  • Aptitude for learning standard operating procedures related to police operations, communication equipment, and technology.
  • Understanding of laws and regulations.
  • Capability to prepare clear, concise, and comprehensive written reports.
  • Willingness to become proficient in self-defense techniques and the handling of firearms.
  • Ability to follow both oral and written instructions.
  • Competence in interacting courteously and effectively with the public.
  • Alignment with the City's Mission, Vision, and Values.
Comprehensive Benefits Package

While attending the police academy, Police Officer Trainees are eligible for health insurance, which includes a substantial premium contribution from the City. They will also be enrolled in the California Public Employee Retirement System (CalPERS) at the non-sworn rate of 2% @62, along with Social Security benefits. Upon completing the academy, the incumbent will be represented by the Concord Police Officers Association and will receive an extensive benefits package, which includes:

  • New CalPERS members eligible for 2.7% @ 57 plus Social Security.
  • Shift differentials ranging from 3% to 8%.
  • Specialty Assignments: Detective roles, Canine Unit, Community Impact Unit, Motorcycle Unit, Traffic Investigator, Special Enforcement Team, and more.
  • Master Officer Program – 10% at 15 years of sworn service with three completed specialties.
  • Longevity pay – 5% at 18 years of sworn service.
  • Bilingual pay of $250/month for qualifying languages.
  • Education and POST Certificate Incentives up to 10%.
  • Ongoing training and professional development opportunities.
  • Fully funded tuition reimbursement program with a 2% pay increase while enrolled.
  • Generous contributions to health, dental, and vision plans.
  • Employer-paid life insurance and contributions to retirement plans.
  • Employer-funded Employee Assistance Program and robust peer support initiatives.

A limited number of applicants who demonstrate they closely meet the qualifications for this position in terms of training, experience, education, and other job-related characteristics will be accepted to participate in the selection process. A valid POST participating agency T-Score of 50 or better is required.
  2. Candidates moving forward will undergo a thorough background examination, including a polygraph test, psychological evaluation, and physical assessment.
