Police Cadet Program
Have you have considered being a police officer and just could not afford to leave your job to go to the academy? Cannot work and go to the academy at the same time? We have news for you! At the June 12, 2023, City Council Meeting our Board of Aldermen authorized the police department to hire non-certified/licensed individuals as Police Cadets. The goal in this is to provide training and employment opportunities to individuals that, for lack of being a certified officer, would otherwise be qualified candidates for being hired as police officers. The city bears the cost of tuition, equipment, uniforms, and pays you a salary to attend a Basic Peace Officer Academy. Upon graduation and passing the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement examination you will be transitioned to a full time Peace Officer with our agency.
