Welcome,
Thank you for your interest in becoming a police officer with the Norwalk Police Department. Norwalk is located in Fairfield County, 37 miles Northeast of New York City and the Police Department is responsible for protecting and serving a community of eighty four thousand residents, making it the 6th largest City in Connecticut. The Police Department offers a dynamic opportunity for individuals seeking a career in Law Enforcement.
The Department is made up of 176 certified police officers; more then 100 of those officers are assigned to the patrol division. In addition to the patrol division the Norwalk Police Department has the following special units: K-9, Mountain Bike, Tactical, Marine, SCUBA, Intelligence, Hostage Negotiations, Professional Standards, Community Policing, and Investigative Services Unit. This allows officers the opportunity to be exposed to, or directly experience a broad range of what is available in a progressive accredited law enforcement agency.
We are supported by a diverse and vibrant community and employ 38 civilian employees who help us carry out our vital mission of protecting and serving.
The department has a strong focus on community policing and working with many civic groups to provide a safe environment for our residents. The department is an equal opportunity employer and encourages diversity in our work force.
