The Coconut Creek Police Department is hiring officers and offering a $7,500 signing bonus to qualified candidates.
To be eligible for hire, candidates must have completed basic recruit training at a certified state police academy and possess a current law enforcement officer certification from the state of Florida, the police department said.
Alternatively, candidates can be currently enrolled in a Florida police academy and be able to obtain a Florida law enforcement certification before employment.
If a candidate does not meet either of the above criteria, they must complete basic recruit training at an out-of-state certified police academy and have the ability to obtain law enforcement officer certification from the state of Florida.
A criminal history check and a driving record check will be conducted for all applicants. Candidates cannot have visible tattoos while wearing long-sleeved, standard-issue department uniforms, officials said.
To be eligible for the $7,500 sign-on bonus, candidates must currently be employed as a law enforcement officer, be certified as a law enforcement officer in Florida, and have a minimum of one year of full-time, sworn law enforcement experience in Florida immediately prior to applying.
Former Coconut Creek Police Officers are not eligible for the signing bonus, which is paid upon hire, officials said.
The current minimum salary for a police officer joining the department is $71,285.76, according to the city. The maximum salary is $112,279.44.
