More Than Just a Job – It’s a Community
Looking for a place where your law enforcement career can truly grow? Where you’re not just badge number 247 lost in the shuffle of a massive department? That’s one of the great things we offer at Boone Police Department.
Our size is our strength. With approximately 43 sworn officers, we’re small enough that everyone knows your name, but large enough to provide real career growth. When you join us, you’re joining a family – one that celebrates your wins and has your back when things get tough.
At the Boone Police department we offer competitive salaries and benefits that stack up well against bigger departments. But unlike those departments, we also offer specialized units and assignments that you won’t have to wait 15 years to join. Whether your interests lie in investigations, community policing, or tactical operations, you’ll find opportunities to develop your skills and career here.
The Office View Can’t Be Beat
Let’s be honest – most cops don’t join for the scenery. But in Boone, it’s definitely a perk. While your friends at other departments are sweating through summer patrols, you’ll be enjoying cool mountain air and views that tourists drive hours to see. Our patrol areas include some of the most beautiful landscapes in the region – not a bad place to spend your shifts.
Leadership That Lets You Police
At Boone PD, our command staff remembers exactly what it’s like to work patrol. They haven’t forgotten the importance of officer discretion and initiative after moving up the ranks. Here, we believe in real policing – not just responding to calls and taking reports.
We proudly support officers who want to engage meaningfully with our community while also proactively addressing criminal activity before it impacts our residents. That balance of community engagement and assertive law enforcement is what keeps Boone safe, and our command staff knows it.
You won’t find yourself frustrated by policies that keep you from doing your job effectively. Whether you have an idea or need approval for an operation, you’ll get straight answers from supervisors who understand what you’re facing on the streets – not excuses.
Perfect for Rookies and Veterans Alike
Whether you’re fresh out of the academy with your career ahead of you, or an experienced officer looking for a positive change, Boone PD might be exactly what you’re looking for. Experienced officers bring valuable skills to our department, while new officers bring fresh perspectives and energy.
Come join a department where you can make a real difference, where your supervisors know your kids’ names, and where you can build a career to be proud of.
