After working at FPD for 12 years, I’ve found this agency allows and encourages a unique experience for members of the communications department, giving us the ability to truly be part of a team.  As a lateral hire, I had experience with the industry standards.  My goal was to find a department which would continually foster professional growth and personal development.  Fremont Police Department not only met those standards, but continues to exceed them.

 -Yanneth Contrada, Police Communications Dispatcher

I want to be the greatest in my field and I know I can achieve it here at Fremont.  The department is ever-evolving with the newest and greatest technology and training.  The camaraderie within our department is unique.  I love coming to work and being a part of a hard working team.  Dispatching is much more than you could ever begin to imagine.  It is the most rewarding career I could have ever imagined.

-Kayla Bacon, Police Communications Dispatcher

As a 15 year veteran Officer, the decision to lateral to the Fremont Police Department was the best career decision I could have made. The Department truly values its employees as can be seen from the amount of trust they show their Officers, the discretion they entrust them with, and the amount of training and investment spent in developing each Officer’s skills.

-Police Detective Bryce Loughery

Fremont PD offers a unique work environment that empowers each and every employee to reach their highest potential. Even as a new Officer the department allowed me to investigate my own cases from start to finish and they provided me with the resources needed. I love how this department is a small enough agency where you get to know everyone you work with, but it is still large enough to provide several opportunities for advancement and specialized assignments.
