As Chief of Police, I would like to invite you to consider a career with the San Antonio Police Department. San Antonio, with over one million residents, is the seventh largest city in the U.S., and is a community whose residents reflect diverse cultural backgrounds. The city's economic base in tourism, military, health care/technology, and agri-business, combined with the charm and historical significance preserved in the Alamo and its other Spanish missions, in its historic neighborhoods and in the world famous River Walk, create a unique and pleasant environment for residents and visitors alike.
