Position Details

Testing is being conducted to fill two (2) anticipated full-time Police Officer positions in the near future and to establish an Eligibility List for future available positions.

The Board of Police Commissioners for the Village of Hampshire is now accepting applications for the position of: Police Officer

The Hampshire Police Department is charged with the responsibility of enforcement of Illinois law and local ordinances.

To “Serve and Protect” has been the mission statement for many departments and has conveyed a message most citizens understand.  While Hampshire Police also maintain a similar philosophy, they have expanded their mission statement to include “Community Responsiveness”.

Although the police have a duty to enforce the law they also have the responsibility to reduce crime and that cannot occur without direct involvement of the community.
