Rapid City, United States City of Box Elder Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

Are you looking to join a team and not just go to a job? How about working alongside people whose goal is delivering excellence each and every day? Would you like to do all of this in a beautiful and largely undiscovered town in western South Dakota where the outdoor activity opportunities are endless? If your answers to these questions are "yes," then look no further...

Welcome to the City of Box Elder, the "Gateway to the Black Hills" and home to Ellsworth Air Force Base. We are a small but dedicated group of professionals who take pride in our work and love serving our vibrant community.

The City of Box Elder is located just outside of Rapid City in the beautiful western side of South Dakota. Nestled close to the famous "Black Hills," we are only a short distance to miles of hiking trails, skiing/snowboarding within 45 minutes, and countless other natural wonders all within a short drive. Kayaking, hot springs, mountain climbing, mountain biking, and many other outdoor activities can all be found in our backyard.

The Box Elder Police Department is seeking motivated and hard-working individuals with a desire to serve our community as full-time Police Officers. We work to maintain a highly trained, technically advanced, professional force where respect, teamwork and camaraderie are our culture.

This position is responsible for the enforcement of federal, state, and local laws and the protection of life and property. Qualified candidates should have their law enforcement certification or be enrolled in a vocational school or police academy program with eligibility to test for reciprocity.

Box Elder Police Officers typically work 10-hour shifts, 4 days per week on a varying schedule that rotates every 2-4 months. Officers patrol the city, respond to calls for service, conduct investigations, enforce traffic laws, conduct code enforcement, arrest offenders, provide assistance to other emergency service providers and engage the community and its members in a positive, professional manner.

If you can envision yourself as a part of our team contributing to a bigger mission, then please apply straight away.

Education: High School diploma or G.E.D.

Age: Must be 21 years of age or will be 21 years of age within 6 months of application.

A South Dakota officer whose certification is inactive or expired is also eligible if that certification may qualify for reactivation.
