Are you tired of dealing with gangs, anarchists, anti-police activists, dopers, hookers, and derelicts everyday? (In the interest of full disclosure, we have them here too, but not in the numbers you are probably used to).

Would you like to work for a city that is not defunding the police, but, instead, is increasing salaries, staffing, and providing one of the best compensation packages in the Coastal Bend?

Do you want to get paid to drive down the beach and be a part of a community that not only respects you, but also appreciates and supports what you do?

Do you want to work in one of the most popular vacation destinations in the state with more than eight miles of gulf facing beaches?

Instead of sitting in traffic, wouldn’t you rather go play after work? Our police station is two minutes to the marina, four minutes to the beach, and eight minutes to the golf course.

Do you want to work for an agency with a staff of highly trained professionals, that provides its officers the best equipment available; including red dot Glocks and patrol rifles (AR-15), TASERS, body-cams, and 4X4 patrol vehicles?

If you answered yes to these questions, the Port Aransas Police Department is seeking officers with two or more years of patrol experience for immediate hire.
