Bethany Beach Police Department

ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS UNTIL APRIL 1ST, 20205

The Bethany Beach Police Department is still taking applications for summer 2025 Seasonal Police Officers. I am reaching out to college professors and department chairs to inform them of an exciting employment opportunity for their students. Every year, my agency hires approximately 17 young men and women who want to gain hands on experience as police officers. These individuals perform basic law enforcement duties under supervision during the summer months (May-Sept).  While doing so, my agency mentors them, trains them and works with them to gain internship requirements if needed. In return, their employment helps our town provide more boots on the ground for the safety of our visitors and residents during the summer beach season.  

Completed applications can be sent to       BBPDJOBS@Townofbethanybeach.com
