JOIN THE NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY
The Department of Public Safety provides for the safety and security of the citizens of
Nevada by conducting the following public safety services: Enforcing traffic laws and
providing assistance on our public roadways; conducting investigations of criminal and
narcotic related activities; training peace officers and fire and disaster response officers;
and supervising parolees and probationers within the criminal justice system.
DPS Officer I and 2 Assignments and Locations
The
Nevada Department of Public Safety offers a wide variety of duty
assignments and locations. The Department has five sworn divisions
that are recruiting for DPS Officer I and DPS Officer II. They are
Highway Patrol, Parole and Probation, Investigations, Fire Marshal
and Capitol Police. However, not all Divisions currently have
openings, or may only have openings in a specific location. The
available position locations and openings at the time of your
application submission may change while you are proceeding through
the hiring process.
Applicants will be asked throughout the hiring
process which Division they would prefer to work for; however, you
should not limit your options unless you are prepared to lose an
opportunity with another one of our Divisions.
If you are successful through the background
investigation phase, your listed preferred Division Liaison will
contact you to talk about duty station availability at that time. If
that Division does not have an opening in a location you are willing
to start at, they may recommend you to another liaison for a
Division that does have an opening in the location you desire.
Job offers are made with the expectation that a
candidate will remain with the hiring Division for a minimum of two
years. Consideration for a transfer to another Division, prior to
two years, will generally not be entertained unless exigent
circumstances exist. Transfers are considered on a case by case
basis and are not guaranteed. Public service and the good of the
Department are primary considerations.
Thank you for your interest in the Nevada
Department of Public Safety, and good luck throughout this hiring
process. |
