We are always looking for people to join our ʻohana!

One of the greatest aspects about working at the Kauai Police Department, besides being granted the opportunity to serve such an active role within our island community, is that the majority of our jobs are recession-proof. That's because there is always a need to help keep the community safe.

If you're interested in becoming a part of our team and would like to learn more about the recruitment process for Police Officers, please visit the Police Services Officer recruitement webpage for more information.

We also have a variety of civilian positions that play a key role in the department being able to provide the highest level of professional service to the community. These positions include but are not limited to Police Dispatcher and Clerk. If you’re interested in finding out if we're actively recruiting for civilian positions, please visit GovernmentJobs.com.
