The Lincoln Police Department is accepting applications for both entry-level and certified police officers.
We are hiring both police trainees and lateral transfers for a January Academy.
We know that diversity makes us better, so we're committed to building a department that reflects the community we serve and we encourage people from all walks of life to apply.
We can and will teach you skills, so our biggest considerations in the hiring process are character and talent.
We've found the things that make a great Lincoln Police Officer are: integrity, being a team player, drive, humility, effective intelligence, emotional strength, adaptability, resiliency and curiosity.
As a Lincoln Police Officer, you will be exposed to a wide variety of experiences and have countless opportunities for professional growth. Unlike most departments our size, we subscribe to a generalist policing philosophy. This means we give our officers the training and responsibility to fully investigate the cases they're dispatched to rather than handing most of them off to an investigative unit. Policing that way adds an extra challenge to the job, but it also builds well-rounded officers and allows you to hone your skills on patrol so you're ready to hit the ground running when opportunities for advancement come along. Lincoln Police Officers work in cooperation with the community to prevent crime and proactively address problems before bad things happen.
If you're ready to turn your passion and commitment into action, it's time to answer the call, accept the challenge and find your place at the Lincoln Police Department.
