Stockton Police Department

Towards the end of my career, and during, I had difficulty integrating into the culture of the department.  However, this did not affect my work culture.  

At times supervision was great.  At other times supervision not so great and was often done at a distance via radio.

There is no better place for an officer to work in the entire state of California than the city of Stockton. It is a fast paced, dynamic and multicultural city that continues to grow each year as it faces new challenges. New officers will be exposed to a variety of calls for service in a very short period of time, making them valuable, knowledgeable and experienced.

The employees and horrible administration. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The morale is low. Very low. You are overworked and under paid. Constantly short staffed which leads to officer safety concerns. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Constantly handling calls for service.

I truly enjoyed my work at Stockton Police Department. The leadership is supportive and there are many opportunities. My biggest regret was leaving. Unfortunately, the State of California was not a place I wanted to live. I recommend anyone looking for challenging police work and a great place to work apply at Stockton.

organize paper files, sit most of the day and talk, i learned about regulations, penalties and procedures with code enforcement, the coworkers were fun to be around and going to different parts of the building meeting new people and doing new tasks was the fun part.

I performed many duties in the 14 years I worked there. they ranged from patrol, to field training officer, driving instructor, department instructor for numerous subjects. I was also on the bomb squad and thoroughly enjoyed working there. 

However, due to an on the job injury I was forced to medically retire.

I've held many different positions at the police department.  The following are the poistions I was assigned to: Patrol Officer, Street Crimes Unit, Traffic/Motorcycle Officer, School Resource Officer, and Background Investigator

Clerical work including interaction with the public.  Handled inquiries
from both the public and staff of the Police Department.   Also handed
phone inquiries as needed, data entry into the computer system, and
cashiering duties.

It was a fast paste working environment. Some of the staff members were very professional and polite. Overall, I was grateful for having the opportunity to serve and protect the City of Stockton.

as any civil service job, the public is your main concern along with safety.  
I responded to calls for service and was very proactive in my approach to upholding the law
