CITY OF CYPRESS

POLICE COMMANDER 

One of Orange County’s “Best Kept Secrets,” Cypress is an ideal place to live and work. Located in northwestern Orange County, on the Los Angeles County border, Cypress has a population of approximately 50,000.  Just five miles from some of Southern California’s nicest beaches, it is a community of well-planned and maintained neighborhoods with a strong sense of community pride. Residents and businesses appreciate a blend of small town charm and big city diversity, low crime, quality education and exceptional recreation opportunities.

The Cypress Police Department and its annual budget of approximately $18.2 million are divided into three divisions: Operations, Investigations and Administration. Cypress is seeking a strong and passionate leader to serve as Police Commander. The Commander will report directly to the Chief of Police and oversees one of the three divisions on a rotating basis. The new Police Commander is expected to have an inclusive management style, possess ethical standards and have a passion for community engagement. 

A Bachelor’s degree, preferably in Criminal Justice, Communications, Business/Public Administration from an accredited college or university and two years of experience as a Police Sergeant or above are required. Candidates must conform to California Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training guidelines including possession of a POST Supervisory Certificate. A Master’s degree, completion of the POST Supervisory Leadership Institute, and a POST Management Certificate are desirable. The current salary range is $139,512 - $167,460 annually, DOQ.
