Brentwood, California in the East Bay
Join the Brentwood Police Department, a progressive agency committed to community excellence and genuine work-life balance in the heart of the East Bay.
Brentwood PD is one of the East Bay's most respected departments. We invest in our officers with competitive pay, cutting-edge training and equipment, and a culture that values your time at home as much as your time on duty.
$145,365/yr top-step base salary. Education Pay, Bilingual Pay, Longevity Pay, Special Assignment Pay, and Training Officer Pay on top.
Our schedule gives you four consecutive days off every single week. More time for family, health, and the life you earned. A real commitment, not a talking point.
Full family medical plans with city-paid medical, dental, and vision. CalPERS public safety pension. Retiree Health Savings Account. 13 paid holidays per year. Uniform allowance included.
Brentwood is a growing East Bay city that genuinely respects its officers. Great schools, safe neighborhoods, and a department that invests in your entire career, not just your first year.
Cost-of-living adjustments are already locked into the officers' association agreement. Not promises, signed commitments.

When the call is high-risk, we don't improvise. Our Lenco Emergency Rescue Vehicle is built on the principles of time, distance, and shielding, giving our officers the time and protection to de-escalate critical incidents and resolve them peacefully through dialogue and negotiation, while doubling as a mobile medical unit when lives are on the line.
