The Dandridge Police Department is currently accepting applications for 2 POST certified Police Officers to join our growing team. We are grateful for our Board of Mayor and Alderman, who always support us with the resources we need. They have given us two additional patrol officer positions. One of the positions will be for day shift and one will be for night shift. 4 on 4 off 12 hr shifts, 6-6.
Nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, our jurisdiction surrounds the breathtaking shores of Douglas Lake. The views are stunning, the atmosphere is peaceful, and our citizens are genuinely supportive of law enforcement and public safety. Our department is also fortunate to have a highly supportive town staff and elected council who ensure we have the leadership, tools, and resources needed to succeed.
At DPD, we are community-driven and service-focused. We place a strong emphasis on investing in the youth of our community and take pride in our involvement with local schools, events, and programs. We are also home to the Field of Dreams Sports Complex, where families and athletes from across the county and across the country, come to compete in recreation and travel league tournaments for sports of all types.
** Must Be POST Certified**
Applications may be picked up and returned to Dandridge Town Hall located at 131 E Main St. Dandridge,TN 37725.
