Law enforcement is one of the most challenging, demanding, and rewarding career choices a person can make.  Law enforcement requires courage, unselfish dedication, compassionate concern for citizens, and most importantly, honesty and integrity.  The public places great trust in its law enforcement officers.  In return for this trust, the public demands that officers live up to that trust and maintain high standards of personal and professional conduct under its watchful eye.  When an officer takes the oath of office, he or she promises to keep that trust by impartially upholding the law and protecting the people of the community.

The Piqua Police Department is an internationally accredited agency.  This means that the department has demonstrated that it has met and is committed to maintaining the standards of excellence and service necessary to effectively serve the community.  Accreditation requires a team effort and spirit from all officers and employees in order to meet and maintain these standards.  The individual officer, working as an integral part of the team, is the most important means of ensuring that the entire department continues to meet those standards.

If you can meet the rigorous physical, personal, ethical and moral challenges of this career; if you have the desire to work to improve the quality of life in the community you serve; if you have the ability and desire to learn, and if you want to be a part of a proud organization that strives for excellence, then you are the type of person we are looking for.  I invite you to further explore a career with the Piqua Police Department.
