About the role

The Albuquerque Police Department invites applications for a Deputy Police Chief, a sworn leadership role reporting directly to the Chief of Police. The incumbent will oversee a bureau, directing several divisions within the department, which employs about 1,500 staff and manages a sizable annual budget. The position is safety sensitive and at-will, with expectations to guide strategic operations, budgets, and community relations. A strong background in law enforcement leadership is essential.

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.
