We are one of the largest municipal police departments in the State of Illinois, which affords us the ability to participate in a variety of law enforcement functions and specialties. This means that potential employees, once hired, will have the opportunity to apply and test for lateral and promotional positions on a regular basis.

Our Department seeks applicants who understand the importance of community and possess the ability to problem solve. We are looking for individuals able to effectively communicate with people from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities. We welcome those with varied life experiences from college, military, or other careers. We want officers with the integrity and personal commitment it takes to maintain the proud tradition of the Rockford Police Department.
