 Policing is different in the 21st century, but change isn't always a bad thing. The way I see it, law enforcement isn't just about making arrests. Our job, our career is more than that. Our mission focuses on having a heart for service, serving others, caring about our citizens. We are a diverse workforce that reflects our community. Each day is different, certainly not boring. Every day we gear up, ready for whatever situation comes our way. The Columbia Police Department is looking to grow our family. We need dedicated, compassionate, selfless men and women to stand with us. A professional, nationally accredited, capital city police department in the heart of South Carolina. Courageous, fair, honest, accountable, and transparent. Join us in answering the call to make a positive impact on someone's life. And who knows, it could just be your own.
