About the role

UC Davis seeks a dynamic Chief of Police to serve as the public safety executive for the university, guiding strategic direction and operational oversight of all police services. You will lead two large campus operations, manage an annual budget, and advise senior leadership on safety matters while fostering a safe, inclusive environment for students and staff. The role requires outstanding leadership, integrity, discretion, and the ability to build trust across a diverse university community.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
