Police Academy Trainee: Path to Sworn Officer

City of Antioch invites applicants to join a Police Trainee program, undergoing a POST approved academy under close supervision. The temporary role provides the training needed for future appointment as a Police Officer, with extension only by Chief approval. The City covers tuition, uniforms, safety equipment and academy materials. Trainees are paid hourly and do not receive regular fringe benefits; after academy completion, success leads to sworn status with scale-based pay and benefits.
