The Victoria Police Department relies on a dedicated team of civilian professionals to function effectively and provide excellent service to the citizens and communities of Victoria and Esquimalt.  We offer exceptional employment opportunities for meaningful careers outside of becoming a police officer. There are over 80 civilians currently employed at VicPD with the vast majority being unionized under CUPE Local 50, and a small number being Exempt.

Civilian opportunities exist within areas such as information technology, information and records management, investigative services, finance, executive services, and operational support.  We are proud to offer a workplace steeped in equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility practices, and offer exciting chances to work in a progressive environment that encourages change, growth, and innovation. The civilians work in conjunction with the police officers, and play an important role in supporting the safety and well being of our communities.

Choosing a career is about more than just a job - it is about building your future.  VicPD is committed to attracting and retaining quality employees by offering comprehensive and competitive benefits packages for regular full-time employees.  Salaries are consistently above the industry average for similar roles, and a robust pension plan is in place to help provide long-term financial security..  Our many internal mental health and wellbeing initiatives provide proactive and reactive support for the unique challenges of working in a policing environment.
