A national search is underway for a new Chief of Police for the City of Edgewater, CO.

AN OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITY

This is a rare opportunity for a proven leader and collaborator to transform an evolving law enforcement agency in the heart of the Denver Metropolitan Area.

The city seeks a proven leader who will collaborate with community members and other stakeholders to develop new strategic initiatives to improve public safety services and build on current initiatives that are underway. Successful candidates will have an exceptional career history and will be known for being a strong communicator who is engaging, inclusive, insightful, and adaptable.

THE COMMUNITY

Nestled between the cities of Denver, Wheat Ridge, and Lakewood, on the western shore of Sloan’s Lake, Edgewater dates back to 1901. Geographically, Edgewater is a small city with an area of less than one square mile and a population of just over 5,000. However, Edgewater’s central location provides short commutes to major interstates and is well within reach of the majestic Rocky Mountains for skiing, hiking, and a wide range of internationally acclaimed mountain sports.

THE DEPARTMENT

The Chief of Police leads the Edgewater Police Department (EPD) by providing strategic direction for public safety that enhances the quality of life for residents and visitors to Edgewater.

KEY CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
  1. Creating a strategic vision for future policing practices that align with the City’s priorities.

  3. Recruiting qualified and diverse applicants is a significant challenge. The next Chief will address this opportunity to ensure a strong and healthy workforce.
  4. Embracing new technologies to improve how police protect and serve.
IDEAL CANDIDATE

The ideal candidate will be a strategic leader who is innovative, proactive, and forward-thinking. They will have an open and collaborative management style and be a good decision maker. The next Chief of Police will have a passion for policing with an infectious “can do” attitude that inspires others to accept and manage change while upholding high-performance expectations.

EDUCATION

A bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university with major course work in criminal justice, law enforcement, public administration, emergency services, or a related field is required. A graduate degree in a field related to law enforcement is preferred.

A minimum of 10 years of experience as a peace officer, including three years of police supervisory leadership experience at the rank of lieutenant or higher is preferred.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS

  2. Successfully pass a background investigation.
  3. Polygraph Examination.
