The Delta Police Department is seeking motivated and diverse experienced officers who want to make a difference in the City of Delta and the Tsawwassen First Nation. We value resilient and diverse applicants who are interested in serving the community. As one of BC’s Top 100 Employers each year since 2019, we take pride in our inclusive workplace.
As a smaller police agency of approximately 200 sworn officers and 100 civilian support staff, we are always looking for enthusiastic experienced officers to join our team. We offer one of the most competitive benefits packages of any police agency in the country and have a variety of opportunities with internal sections and external secondments. Our department is dedicated to the wellbeing of the community and the employees who work for the Delta Police Department; we have a robust internal wellness program that prioritizes work-life balance, training and equipment, and a strong sense of community. The Delta Police Department has a great relationship with its governing police board and the citizens we serve.
Any inquiries with the Delta Police will be kept in confidence, and your current employers will not be contacted without your knowledge.
Our community-first policing philosophy prioritizes the needs and expectations of our community at the forefront of our service delivery model. The foundation of the community-first approach is our "No Call Too Small" focus, which means our community can depend on us to respond to any and all safety concerns, no matter how minor.
Our No Call Too Small approach has remained steadfast since 1888 despite the evolution of policing throughout history. We place exceptional value on our community members' needs and thus take pride in our response and treat every interaction as an opportunity to make a positive impact. Simply put, No Call Too Small - a community-centric blueprint - ensures that we remain proactively connected to our community by focusing on minor safety concerns to prevent them from becoming prominent.
For our communities to be safe, we acknowledge and focus on the essential yet complex combination of social and behavioural health issues that may be the root cause of crime. While the responsibility for these issues rests with respective services, the DPD team aspires to contribute to our community's safety and well-being by focusing on our expanding role within the Community Wellness Spectrum beyond the traditional incident response.
