EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION

The Department of Public Safety is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. Qualified persons are considered for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, political affiliation or disability, as outlined in the State Affirmative Action Plan.

Join the Nevada Department of Public Safety

The Department of Public Safety provides for the safety and security of the citizens of Nevada by conducting the following public safety services: Enforcing traffic laws and providing assistance on our public roadways; conducting investigations of criminal and narcotic related activities; training peace officers and fire and disaster response officers; and supervising parolees and probationers within the criminal justice system.

 

DPS Officer I and 2 Assignments and Locations

The Nevada Department of Public Safety offers a wide variety of duty assignments and locations. The Department has five sworn divisions that are recruiting for DPS Officer I and DPS Officer II. They are Highway Patrol, Parole and Probation, Investigations, Fire Marshal and Capitol Police. However, not all Divisions currently have openings, or may only have openings in a specific location. The available position locations and openings at the time of your application submission may change while you are proceeding through the hiring process.

Applicants will be asked throughout the hiring process which Division they would prefer to work for; however, you should not limit your options unless you are prepared to lose an opportunity with another one of our Divisions.

If you are successful through the background investigation phase, your listed preferred Division Liaison will contact you to talk about duty station availability at that time. If that Division does not have an opening in a location you are willing to start at, they may recommend you to another liaison for a Division that does have an opening in the location you desire. 

Job offers are made with the expectation that a candidate will remain with the hiring Division for a minimum of two years. Consideration for a transfer to another Division, prior to two years, will generally not be entertained unless exigent circumstances exist. Transfers are considered on a case by case basis and are not guaranteed. Public service and the good of the Department are primary considerations. 

Thank you for your interest in the Nevada Department of Public Safety, and good luck throughout this hiring process.
