Belvedere is one of the smallest and oldest cities in California. It was incorporated in 1896 and is situated just north of S an Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge in Marin County. The City is surrounded by water and comprises two islands and an artificial lagoon, with a total land mass of just 0.5 square miles. With less than 1,000 residences and very little retail or commercial presence, Belvedere is known for its rich history, natural beauty, tranquility, and strong sense of community. Despite its small size, Belvedere is a full -service city with police, public works, planning, building, finance, and administrati on departments. With an annual budget of just over $10 million, it relies on a dedicated, small staff and numerous volunteer hours to deliver the excellent service that residents depend on. The Department consists of the Chief of Police, two sergeants, and four officers. The officers are generalists who typically handle cases from the first response, through investigation, and onto final disposition. In addition, officers frequently assist the Chief of Police with administrative duties and consult closely with him in formulation of departmental policies, procedures and tactics. The department is well equipped and well trained. An officer is assigned to one of four patrol shifts. Officers frequently work alone and may be required to make decisions regarding appropriate courses of action without direct supervision. The department is committed to providing a high level of training to those officers who desire to increase their level of proficiency. 450 San Rafael Ave Belvedere, California 94920 City Hall (415) 435-3838 Police Department (415) 435-2611 City of Belvedere is accepting applications for RESERVE POLICE OFFICER Continuous Recruitment Pay Range: $44.23 to $53.77 hourly Effective 7/1/2025—3% increase to $45.55 to $55.38 hourly • Overtime at 1 ½ time pay • Sick Leave: California State mandated Sick Leave only.
