Join BPD
Becoming a Belleair officer
A small, selective roster. Every new officer goes through the same field training, whatever their experience.
Can I be in another department too?
Yes. BPD is an auxiliary department: officers can also serve in the Sheriff's Office and the Highway Patrol.
What is the activity requirement?
90 minutes of shift time per calendar month. File a leave of absence on the personnel site if you'll be away.
How does the department choose?
Hiring is based on need, maturity and standing in the community, not experience alone. Grammar and detail in your application count.
