package for Lateral Entry Police Officers. Our Lateral Bonus Program includes a $2,000.00 transfer bonus; allows, with verification, carry over of up to 960 hours of
previously earned sick leave; allows placement within the salary range based upon years of previous law enforcement experience, and provides for a higher vacation leave accrual rate based
upon total years of sworn law enforcement experience.
Applications accepted on a continuous basis. City
