Get Paid While You Train

You do not need to be a certified police officer to apply.

The Lansdale Borough Police Department will sponsor qualified candidates through the police academy and provide a salary while they complete their training.

We're looking for individuals with strong character, sound judgment, and a genuine desire to serve others. If that sounds like you, we encourage you to apply.
