Career Opportunities

Greenwood Village Police Department is a progressive police organization with an outcome based policing philosophy.  Outcome based policing is derived from the Village's outcome based management system.  It is an expansion of traditional policing to include problem solving, intervention, partnerships and community policing as a means to reduce crime, fear of crime, and social disorder.  The principles that define outcomes apply to all branches of government.  Public health, public education, and public safety all require a set of shared values and common goals.  They all rely on partnerships, problem solving, and prevention strategies to ensure quality of life for individuals, families, neighborhoods, businesses, and their supporting institutions.  Each of these share a common set of values frequently referred to as quality of life, such as: safe schools, safe homes, safe roads, and a clean, safe environment.  Outcome based policing is the police department's part in assuring quality of life for all citizens.
