When we started brainstorming for a new recruitment video, one of the most important components we wanted to highlight was the relationships we have with community members and partners. The people in our community make this job great.

Don't just take our word for it. Take a look at the video and see for yourself. We'd love to have you join our team and experience the incredible community we have, too! You can apply at www.annatexas.gov/jobs. Applications are open for TCOLE Certified Police Officers.
