Opportunities Await with Oceanside Police
|
Having a full workforce is vital to providing not only quality, but timely service to our community. It also gives us the necessary capacity to create new programs and expand existing programs. As someone who grew up in and still resides in Oceanside, I want to encourage our residents to consider a career with the Oceanside Police Department. We are currently hiring Cadets and Police Officers and soon will be hiring Dispatchers and Records Technicians. Details
