Come join the City of Eureka’s team with this very unique opportunity in the Eureka Police Department helping carry out EPD’s mission to enhance community-oriented police service by protecting our beautiful trails, parks, and historic waterfront. Engaging with the local public and visitors will be a primary aspect of this position, by providing information as well as protection to those who utilize the City’s abundant and varied public recreational areas.

This sworn, working-level law enforcement class performs all non-supervisory assignments found in a municipal police department and is exclusively assigned to the City’s parks, trails, harbor, and waterfront areas for patrol and all functional areas of the law enforcement field, with a highly visible and engaging community presence. Based upon needs of the assignment, duties are carried out on foot, bicycle, from vehicles and/or aboard watercraft. This class is distinguished from Police Officer in that the latter is assigned varied law enforcement responsibilities throughout the entire city while the former’s duties are primarily constrained to proactive, high visibility patrol within the city’s parks and waterfront areas. For a complete job description and to apply, please visit our website at: www.eurekaca.gov. Applications will be accepted until 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 20th, 2024. EOE
