We are looking for people who want to make a difference in the community, protect citizens and their property, and help keep our neighborhood streets safe. At Chesterfield County Police Department, we believe that good people make a good police department, and in turn, make a great community. Our agency is on the cutting edge of community policing tactics and technology integration — and we’re always looking for new ways to improve our processes and make them fit our purpose.

Our team of 500+ officers and more than 100 professional staff are a part of the community, not apart from it. Because of our people over process approach, our team was recently highlighted by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) for successful recruitment and retention efforts and organizational culture. Our commitment to preserve life, protect the vulnerable, and establish problem-solving partnerships were also noted.
