Everything you need to prepare a strong application and build a career with Brentwood PD.
Brentwood PD has a long, successful history of hiring lateral officers seeking a better work-life balance. If you're a California peace officer looking for a supportive community, a department that invests in its people, and a city that respects its officers, we want to hear from you.
Apply as a Lateral →California's Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Basic Academy is the required training program for all new California peace officers. Typical duration is 6+ months full-time.
Police work demands physical fitness. A Physical Assessment is part of the hiring process, and you must also pass a medical exam after a conditional offer confirming your fitness for duty. Arrive prepared for both.
Enjoy four consecutive days off every week. Far better for personal life than a traditional 5-day schedule, and one of the top reasons officers choose Brentwood PD.
