The Saginaw, Texas Police Department is currently recruiting to fill a Police Dispatcher vacancy.  You may read more about this position HERE.

Saginaw is a growing, dynamic city, located in the northwest quadrant of Tarrant County, Texas.  Our population has increased over 50% since 2000, and the police department has grown to keep pace.  Our current population is 18,950, and is expected to exceed 22,000 in the next five years. 

The Police Department currently has 39 sworn (police officer) and 7 non-sworn (communications, detention) full-time positions.  We operate under 2 divisions, Operations and Support Services.  Opportunities exist to work in Patrol, Criminal Investigations, Community Services, School Resources, Training and Traffic.  The department also staffs a SWAT team, trained to respond to critical incidents within the city.

Hiring Process

Once your application is on file, it will be screened for suitability.  Applicants for police officer positions must be at least 21 years old, have completed a basic police academy (or are currently enrolled), and have a strong personal background.  Those who pass this screening are invited to a physical assessment.  While it is not a traditional pass/fail assessment, applicants are encouraged to do their best.  Those who excel are invited to an oral board interview with a panel of 3 to 5 Saginaw officers and supervisors.  If you've made it through all of this, plus a thorough background investigation, you may receive a conditional job offer; only comprehensive physical psychological examinations stand between you and a career as a Saginaw police officer!
