Police Officer

The City of Heyburn is seeking community-engaged police officers to join our team. Imagine a community with small town diners, mom and pop stores, locally owned businesses, friendly people, and green agricultural fields with nearby mountains, as far as the eyes can see. Have you ever dreamed of working in law enforcement in a community that still appreciates and supports its police officers that desire law and order while embracing Constitutional freedoms? Does serving a strong and growing municipality, rich in history, with old fashion Western culture and values, appeal to you? If you have answered yes to the above, then look no further than Heyburn, Idaho!

Nestled along the Snake River and Interstate 84, the City of Heyburn is home to more than 3,000 citizens within its incorporated city limits. Within a few miles lies neighboring cities with big box stores, but Heyburn has kept its quiet residential charm. As a growing community in the Mini-Cassia area, there is an elementary school within the city limits and two community hospitals within 15 minutes. Heyburn is close to several recreation type activities including motocross, golf, ATV riding, hiking, fishing, hunting, boating, horse events, camping and many more. With two state highways running through town, many enjoy being able to travel to Boise or Salt Lake for the "big city" experience but return home to Heyburn and Minidoka County.

Heyburn is a growing police department that is under new leadership focused on innovation and developing a working partnership with our community, which we strive to continually improve. The Heyburn Police Department is currently allotted 8 commissioned police officers who provide 24-hour coverage to our community.

LATERAL OFFICERS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED!

Are you tired of running call-to-call and want the opportunity to get to know your community? Are you a career law enforcement officer looking for a fresh start outside of the large metropolitan areas? Are you interested in a department with big-city challenges while still having the small-town community policing feel? If you have answered yes to the above, then look no further than Heyburn!
