We strive to recruit the best applicants for the job in an effort to produce highly trained employees to provide the best possible service to our community.

Training is a facet of Public Safety that is continually evolving to address the changes in society not only in our City but also in the United States as a whole. Being a top ranked tourist destination we welcome visitors from every state in the nation and several foreign countries. This diverse and transient population brings with it new challenges that must be met everyday. By employing a well-educated and highly trained staff we stand ready to face every challenge in our efforts to maintain a safe and secure place to not only visit but also to live.

Without the public’s trust we as a Department can not deliver effective services within our community. In the Departments efforts to deliver the most effective and responsible service to our citizens and visitors we must strive to maintain the highest level of ethics among our employees. When that effectiveness and responsibility is compromised the Office of Professional Standards is charged with conducting the internal affairs investigation to assure a quick and fair resolution to the problem.
