Peebles seeks part-time police officers, posts hiring details online

Peebles is looking for part-time police officers, and the village’s official website puts the hiring notice in front of Adams County residents as a live indicator of how the community is staffing public safety. In a county where smaller villages often rely on flexible schedules to keep police coverage operating, the posting gives locals a direct look at the personnel standards Peebles expects from officers on its team.

The village says applicants must be at least 18, hold a valid driver’s license and be OPOTA certified. The posting also makes clear that the job is not simply about filling a slot on the schedule. Peebles is asking for people who communicate well, solve problems, work with others, work independently when needed and show integrity and commitment to public service.

Physical readiness is part of the standard as well. Applicants must be fit enough for field duties, legally eligible to work and able to pass background checks. Those requirements point to a department that is screening for officers who can handle patrol work safely and represent the village professionally in day-to-day contact with residents.

The application process is straightforward. Candidates are told to mail or email a resume, cover letter and valid certifications to the Peebles Police Chief at 1 Simmons Avenue in Peebles. The website also provides the department’s email address for submissions, along with contact information for the mayor, council members, the village administrator and the police department.

For Peebles, the posting is more than a job listing. It is a public sign of how the village is trying to keep its police department staffed and available through part-time hires, while giving job seekers a clear route into local law enforcement. For residents, it is a snapshot of the village’s current public-safety priorities and the standards it wants in officers serving the community.
