Background Check
Your career awaits you at the Glendale Police Department
Glendale Police Officers are role models for the community. A background check helps determine if applicants meet the high standards required for the job. Applicants must:
-
Collect Required Documents

Prior to your appointment to the Glendale Police Department, you are required to undergo and successfully pass a comprehensive background investigation. Part of this investigation includes the review of relevant documents. You must collect these documents before a background interview can be scheduled (college transcripts can be received at a later date).
Once you have collected all the relevant documents, please call call Sergeant Robert Rosas at:
