About the role

UC Davis Police Department seeks an accomplished Chief of Police to lead campus public safety, strategy, and operations across the Davis and Sacramento campuses. You will provide vision and direction for a comprehensive public safety program aligned with the university’s academic and healthcare missions. You will advise executive leadership, manage a broad budget, and recruit and mentor a diverse workforce while maintaining trust across the 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.
