BATTLE GROUND — The Battle Ground Police Department is seeking experienced, motivated police officers to join its team of professional law enforcement officers and support staff.
In addition to excellent wages, benefits and opportunities for specialty assignments, the department is offering a hiring bonus of $10,000 to successful lateral candidates.
The department is a family focused, community-oriented, full-service law enforcement agency consisting of 29 commissioned officers and staff. Battle Ground is home to a growing population, currently at just less than 20,000, and serves a larger area of about 70,000 as the commercial, social, and service hub for north and central Clark County. Officers work collaboratively and in partnership with a supportive and police-friendly community.
Battle Ground is located in the heart of Clark County, Wash., five miles east of I-5 and just 30 minutes north of Portland, Ore., and the Portland International Airport. The community benefits from serene and pristine surroundings with many local parks, lakes, streams and forested areas while enjoying close proximity to the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan area. The nearby Columbia River Gorge, Mt. Hood and Washington and Oregon coasts provide unmatched recreational opportunities.
