About CopJobs
CopJobs is a national job board for police and law enforcement jobs in all 50 states. It listed law enforcement openings from 1998 to 2015 and relaunched in 2026. It's free for officers and always will be.
Who runs CopJobs
CopJobs is published by Telstar Capital, an independent company. We are not a recruiting firm, a staffing agency, or a government contractor, and are not affiliated with any police department, sheriff's office, state agency, or association. Applications go to each department's own portal.
Officers never pay. Departments can claim their page for free, and can pay to feature an opening at the top of their state page. Featured openings are labeled, and a department's payment never changes the pay, bonus or requirement figures we show for it.
Reach us through the contact form. We read everything, and we fix errors as soon as we can confirm them.
What CopJobs covers
CopJobs lists sworn law enforcement openings at city police departments, county sheriff's offices, state police and highway patrols, and campus, transit and port police: police officer, deputy sheriff, state trooper, recruit and lateral positions.
What makes it different is the numbers. Most job boards show a title and a link. CopJobs shows the starting pay, hiring bonus, lateral credit and hiring rules each department states in its own posting, quoted and dated, so you can compare departments before you apply.
How we get pay data
We collect postings from government sources: city and county application portals, state training-council job lists, and departments' own career pages. As of right now that's 2,940 open jobs from 1,516 agencies.
A figure appears on CopJobs only when a posting states it. For pay, bonuses and lateral rules we keep the exact sentence it came from, which you'll see quoted under the figure, along with a link to the posting and the date we read it.
Every posting is re-checked at least twice a week, and bonuses drop off on the end date the department gives. When a department's starting pay changes, we keep the old figure and the date, so its page shows how pay has moved since we started tracking it.
The name
copjobs.com was registered in 1997 and ran as a free law enforcement job board from 1998 until 2015, when it went dark. We relaunched it in 2026 with the same rule it started with: every opening listed, free to the officer.
Corrections
If a figure on CopJobs is wrong, or a posting has changed and we haven't caught it, send it through the contact form with the department name and a link to the source. Departments that have claimed their page get an edit link and can adjust pay, bonus and lateral details themselves.
