Most cities, including mine us this site to promote their openings.

You might try doing Level 1 reserve until things pick up. If you do well, you will be at the top of the pile of applicants. We hire half our people from our reserve group.

Good luck with the search; it's really tough when experienced guys have been laid off and are looking for jobs.

You might want to try Watsonville PD. A friend of mine left my agency and went over there last month. Monterey PD and San Bernardino SO are hiring I believe. There isn't much opportunity out there at this time. The last academy graduation there was not one sponsored cadet. Completely unheard of. Good luck.

I am two years out of a CA certified academy and have yet to have been hired. I hate my 9-5 and want to patrol the mean streeats of america... well California at least. I am willing to travel and will take a job damn near anywhere.

Same thing happened when I graduated the academy in 1994. I went back to school, got my B.S., and got hired by the Feds. Twelve years later the best thing I ever did.

One of the railroad companies, can't remember if it was Union Pacific or BNSF is hiring for sworn spots in the east bay right now. Check their website.

Richmond, BART, Emeryville, Co Co So are hiring but even Emeryville had 300+ people show up to their physical agility. Plus my department is hiring 4.

If you're willing to travel...LAPD is still hiring, but the budget situation is a little tight right now and there's talk of suspending hiring in the near term.

They lose between 50 and 75 officers a month through normal attrition, so they run one academy class a month right now (60 per class) just to keep even...but again, the hiring might stop anytime.

If no one else has suggested try Calopps.org? I think

Thats where I got a TON of emails and outlets for jobs. Theres quite a few agencies that use them and it may help you out. I used them while I was looking and found a lot of opportunities.

Good luck man

Its tough out there but stay persistent and confident and you will find something

Yes they are hiring...just enough right now to keep up with attrition...the "laying off probationers" thing was just a suggestion 1 or 2 council members made that was quickly abandoned.

This could change at anytime, given the tenuous budget situation with the City right now, but as of right now, they are hiring.
