$10K Signing Bonus Offered For New Fremont Police Officers

FREMONT, CA — The Fremont Police Department has a new recruiting slogan, "You serve the public. We serve you." And the City of Fremont, along with the Fremont Police Association, is backing up that new slogan with a $10,000 signing bonus for newly hired Entry-level, Academy Graduate, and Lateral Police Officers.

New Fremont officers will receive $5,000 when they're hired and the remaining $5,000 after successfully completing probation.

Current employees are eligible for a $1,500 total referral bonus — $750 at time of candidate’s hire and $750 after candidate’s successful completion of probation.

Fremont Police Chief Kimberly Petersen has made recruitment a top priority with a dedicated recruitment website that introduces candidates to the department’s culture, career growth opportunities, and more.

Fremont has a lot of competition. Between 1997 and 2016 the average number of police officers across the country dropped 11 percent. That pits departments against one another in the recruiting process.

Currently, the Fremont Police Department has multiple vacancies for Police Officer, Police Dispatcher, and for a Police Equipment Specialist. Information is available online.
