NON-SWORN POSITIONS

The Mesa Police Department is always looking for great candidates for both our Sworn and Non-Sworn positions. Approximately 40% of our staff members are Non-Sworn and are an integral part of our daily operations.

Non-Sworn, or Professional Staff members, do not need to attend an academy, and can apply for various positions within our department.

Minimum qualifications, requirements and pay ranges vary based on position.
