Message from the Chief

The Austin Police Department is comprised of officers from diverse backgrounds that are dedicated to public safety and innovative engagement that builds trust and respect in the profession. APD has a wide variety of non-patrol specialized units where officers may apply to work. Air Support, Lake Patrol, Mounted Patrol, Special Operations and Police Technology are just a few examples of the great opportunities at the Police Officer rank. There are also opportunities for promotion to higher ranks, opening career potential that is virtually limitless.

If you have a heart to serve and are looking for a career that provides outstanding opportunities and a high degree of intrinsic satisfaction, then I encourage you to apply for the Austin Police Department – we’d love to have you join our team!
