Thank you again for visiting our recruitment website. Burbank is a city of approximately 105,000, situated against the Verdugo Mountains just northeast of Los Angeles. Burbank is the home of the Bob Hope Airport, and is a diverse community bisected by two freeways. It truly is the entertainment capital of the world, home to ABC, NBC, Disney, Warner Bros., Nickelodeon, the Cartoon Network, and dozens of other media-related companies.

The Burbank Police Department offers competitive salaries and benefits, and is an exciting and challenging place to work for its 168 sworn officers and 117 civilians. It is a full service agency, with a Communications Center, Jail, Parking Control, and Records Bureau. Officers can enhance their careers through assignments such as School Resource Officer, the Gang Detail, Special Enforcement Detail, Air Support, Motor Traffic Officer, K-9, SWAT, and the Mounted Unit.

While the Police Department is large enough to provide these advancement opportunities, it is still small enough for everyone to be treated as an individual. There is a family atmosphere here, and a supportive environment is encouraged.

I invite you to explore your employment options and to join us at the Burbank Police Department. You will be making a wonderful choice.

Tim Stehr
Police Chief
